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

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

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´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
We can 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

Can you put the past away?

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
