Sometimes it takes more than faith to leap. Seize a moment—hope to god it’s yours to keep. Can’t help the ripples in the pond are much too deep. I’ll never sleep. You’d never throw your life away, but that’s not a single step. It happens in the moments you least expect. One drink, one kiss, one touch. How could I? This is absurd. Those blue eyes were always full of strife. I never meant to take your life. I love you more than the knife. I know you’re lost and can’t get out. I try to help, but don’t know how to go about. Take one step from the cliff—only causes an avalanche. You’re falling down. One stranger’s love can break the spell. One drink to numb the pain, one hit to vaporize the doubt, one shot straight through the heart. I swear my soul belongs to you. I just can’t help myself. I swear to make amends with all the pain I’ve brought to you. But then my demons creep back. I’m a bad man, through and through. Don’t you understand, girl? I’m running away from the truth. I know you’re lost and can’t get out. I try to help, but don’t know how to go about. Take one step from the cliff—only causes an avalanche. You’re falling down. And I don’t know how to save you. I’ve brought this down on us. How could I ruin a perfect love? I just took one step off the path. Now I’ve ruined the both of us. I swear, my love, I’ll change. I’ll take the steps I need, but it’s already lost. But, if we work together, I’m sure we can discover the emotions once lost. If we take the steps together.I know you’re lost and can’t get out. I try to help, but don’t know how to go about. Take one step from the cliff—only causes an avalanche. You’re falling down.
