The Brink - Gretta Ray

In this time when the stakes are high

I want you to think fondly of the first long drive

Return yourself to where it all began

In the thick of it all when the feeling first set in

Before we got lost, got fucked up, played with fire just because

I did damage to you babe, and I fear I’ll pay the cost now

Nothing has ever really hurt like this

Waking in the middle of the night, I begin to feel the weight of it

However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down

The ache and angst within your eyes

Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten

Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands

We’re on the brink of bruising I watch you undoing

Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance

We could turn away from the edge

In this time, we take the space we need

I’m coming to learn that without you, I don’t know me

And it’s caught me off guard, thrown this thing off

I kept quiet just because

You did damage to me babe, and I’ve come to pay the cost now

Nothing has ever really hurt like this

Shot down in the middle of the fight, I begin to feel the weight of it

However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down

The ache and angst within your eyes

Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten

Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands

On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing

Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance

We could turn away from the edge

Oh, don’t you want to try to make it last?

I never want to wonder what this could have been

But honey, I can feel you fading fast

I beg of you to think this through and see us in that light again

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten

Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands

On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing

Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance

We could turn away from the edge
