I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do now want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand

The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
Your the first to fight, your way to loud
Your the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason to say
Put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand

We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left too You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you know know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today, we can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand

(I would understand, I would understand...)

Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
And I would understand
