Edge of the World

It's a bitter cold today
I stood out here for hours
I was looking for an answer
Took a chance, took a swing and I missed
Late night and your heart hurts
I gotta get myself unstuck
Now it's so much tougher than I thought it was

I stand at the edge of the world
Just staring out at the water
I was a symbol of hope
But I've been pushed a bit farther
And though I feel undone, I got more to offer
This was a big misstep
Now you become a stranger

I'm drawing dead today
Feeling like I'm hollow
There was no more to explain
You stood right there right in front of me and I could see it in your face
It never stops, it's lasting so much longer than I thought it would
I remember what it was like
Your golden boy in flowers
Every song for you and I when we felt easy, we felt alright
I looked at you one last time and I knew that never again would I sing your name

You took something so beautiful and covered it with sorrow
I need to get my head straight
I need to stand a bit taller
Although I feel undone, I got so much to offer
This was a big misstep
Now you are just a stranger

But at the end of the day, there is beauty in tragedy
I hope you find what you need
I hope it's everlasting
I hope you learn to love yourself
