OVER THE EDGE

OVER THE EDGE


REO Speedwagon


I had eyes but I could not see,
I hurt everybody who believed in me
I had it all but I lost the key, oh

I saw the world through fogged-up glasses,
Like some Lothario making passes
I showed the world just what an ass is,

Oh I was over the edge,
I was always out of my head
Trouble in paradise,
Treadin' on the thinnest ice

Oh-oh, over the edge,
I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
Cuttin' with a razor blade,
Spendin' every cent I made

Over the edge
I dreamed of standin' on my own two feet
My fists held high and I clenched my teeth
But I'd wake up to the same old me,

Oh I was living a lie,
But you brought me truth
Afraid to cry,
But you taught me to
You stood beside me,
Now I'll stand by you,
Oh I was over the edge,
I was always out of my head
I wasn't foolin' anyone, playin' with a loaded gun

Oh-oh, over the edge,
I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
I was numbing all the pain,
You taught me how to feel again

If I had died, it would have been a shame
They'd have said "he only had himself to blame"
You saved my life when you called my name,

Oh I was over the edge,
I was always out of my head
I was numbing all the pain,
You showed me how to feel again

Oh-oh, over the edge,
I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
When you looked me in the eyes,
You finally made me recognize

Oh-oh, over the edge
