On The Edge Of Redemption

I stand on the edge of the line of redemption
I turn to say something witty
But I find you don’t even want to listen
Your eyes are full of hate for me, and only me

I blink a few times, wondering what I've done
You just shake your head, tears in your eyes
You tell me “go ahead, cross the line, have fun
But just know that I’m letting go. Cause I can’t handle these lies.”

I’m confused now, trying to handle this surge of pain
I thought you would stand by me always
You just smile coldly, as it begins to rain
The rain mixes with tears as you begin to walk away

I want to just run after you, but I find myself stuck
I have to cross the line, there’s no turning back
I say, “Dammit, this is just my luck.”
Your departing words are “I’m not always going to be around to make up for what you lack.”

I stop thinking of you, because I need to get through
I put my foot over the line and I’m blinding by light
Finally the light clears and there’s a figure standing there.. It’s you
You smile at me, I smile back and you say “no more fights, I can’t handle this much longer.”

I say, “if only it were that easy.”
And you respond with “we can make it through this, I know.”
I roll my eyes and say “how can we make it through, you don’t even know me.”
You just walk away, you look hurt.. but I know you’d never let it show.
