We got our toes too close to the edge of a cliff
With a voice that's saying that it's time to jump
We got a rope tied tight going round our necks
With no sign of what is coming next
And it's tearing us apart
Wanna go back to the start
But it's too late to go back
Not too late to know that
it's over
Yeah, it's over
Oh, it's over
Yeah, it's over
You say I think too much that it's bad for me
I got a messed up past and no company
That's why I wake up in a bad mood
Don't hate me, no attitude
Cause I feel like every time that I open my mouth
It starts another conversation that we fought about
And going round in circles got me thinking out loud
So I'll say some stupid shit to make a fuss about
And it's tearing us apart
Wanna go back to the start
But it's too late to go back
Not too late to know that
it's over
Yeah, it's over
Oh, it's over
Yeah, it's over
And it always seemed to be my fault
And when I messed up your friends got involved
You took a problem and you dragged it out
How many mistakes do you blame on me
