It's been a long time since I held her close. We misplaced feelings that we used to know. Thought I could see between the lines I read. I wasn't ready we she turned to me and said. I can't eat and I can't sleep. Sometimes I find it hard to breathe. I breakdown and cry not knowing why. Now I can't lie I'm standing on the edge of goodbye. All of the those years came rushin through my mind. I found myself back.. in a simpler time. Just two young kids runnin on fire and dreams. And in her eyes I realized, she was calling out to me. She said, I can't eat and I can't sleep. Sometimes I find it hard to breathe. I breakdown and cry not knowing why. Now I can't lie I'm standing on the edge of goodbye. Goodbye. I would do anything to let her know. There just no way my heart can, let her go. 'Cause I can't eat and I can't sleep. Sometimes I find it hard to breathe. I breakdown and cry not knowing why. Now I can't lie She's standing on the edge of goodbye. Goodbye Standing on the edge of goodbye Standing on the edge of goodbye Standing on the edge of goodbye
