Mary Gauthier - The Ledge Lyrics
(Mary Gauthier)Under water, under the wellUnder glass, under a ground swellChasing bliss, chasing my tailChasing desire, straight down to hellI couldn't love, could not forgiveDidn't know how to live and let liveMy choices were fewOn the ledge, looking up at youOver drawn, over fed,Over run, over my headI held a grudge, I held a gun,Held contempt for everyoneI couldn't cry, I couldn't learnI didn't flinch when bridges burnedI was tost, through and throughOn the ledge, looking up at you.I lived alone, I lived In rageI lived in darkness inside a cageOn the fringe, a refugeeI couldn't trace it back to meI grew mean, I grew smallI grew tired of it allI couldn't tell false from trueOn the ledge, looking up at you.Out of luck, out of timeOut of control, out of my mindRunning scared, running downRunning low to the groundThe blows were hard, the blows were meanThe blows were low, the hits were cleanI was left black and blue
