(Verse 1)
I watched him fall deeper with every word,
The promises I made that he never heard.
I wore his love like a second skin,
But every touch felt colder within.
He built me a kingdom of hopes and dreams,
But I ruled it all with silent schemes.
He never saw the storm in my eyes,
Standing right there on the edge of goodbye.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every kiss, a quiet retreat,
Every “I love you” tasted bittersweet.
I gave him just enough to stay,
But not enough to make him walk away.

(Chorus)
And I stood on the edge of goodbye,
Watching him fall, but I didn’t even try.
He gave me his heart, and I let it bleed,
Knowing that love was never what I’d need.
I played the part, I told the lies,
But there was always a tear in the disguise.
Standing on the edge, waiting to fly,
I was always on the edge of goodbye.

(Verse 2)
Two kids, a house, but I felt alone,
Living in a place that never felt like home.
He tried to fix it, he tried to heal,
But I couldn’t feel what I couldn’t feel.
I watched him drown in love so pure,
While I stood there, broken but so sure.
I wanted to save him, but I couldn’t stay,
So I kept him close, and pushed him away.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every day was a quiet war,
Between the life I had and wanting more.
He couldn’t see the cracks beneath,
And I wore my guilt like a dying wreath.

(Chorus)
And I stood on the edge of goodbye,
Watching him fall, but I didn’t even try.
He gave me his heart, and I let it bleed,
Knowing that love was never what I’d need.
I played the part, I told the lies,
But there was always a tear in the disguise.
Standing on the edge, waiting to fly,
I was always on the edge of goodbye.

(Bridge)
I wonder sometimes if he knew,
How close I was to breaking through.
But I held the cards, and I played the queen,
A love like mine can never come clean.

(Chorus)
So I stood on the edge of goodbye,
Watching him fall, but I didn’t even try.
He gave me his heart, and I let it bleed,
Knowing that love was never what I’d need.
I played the part, I told the lies,
But there was always a tear in the disguise.
Standing on the edge, waiting to fly,
I was always on the edge of goodbye.

(Outro)
Now I walk away, no tears to cry,
Still standing on the edge of goodbye
