I wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties
with all the lies
that you've been living in
And if you do not want
to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy
a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
you're way too loud
You're the flash of light
on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know
has got a reason
To say
Put the past away
Wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties
with all the lies
that you've been living in
And if you do not want
to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
And well he's on the table
and he's gone to code
And I do not think
anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
you've been dismissed
I never thought
it would come to this
And I
I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down
the demons
Maybe today you could
put the past away
I wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties
with all the lies
that you've been living in
And if you do not want
to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Woo
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Ya-ya ya-ya ya
Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back
from that ledge my friend
And I would understand
I would understand
And I would understand
