You think you’re on a roll this time
And you can’t help but put your best foot forward now
And you can’t see it but you’re on the edge
I won’t stand aside and watch it crumble down
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
You’re gonna raise the stakes this time
And you won’t change your mind with anything I say
You believe it but you’re on the edge
If you can’t get behind me then get out of the way
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
And you won’t stand beside and see me eye to eye
