Who will be there when I fall
Will anyone care at all?
If I were to pass away
Would anyone mourn that day?
What if I just disappear
Would my absence cause you fear?
Whose fault would it really be
If I’m someone you don’t see
Can I blame the world around
When there’s no one to be found
If I choose to be alone
There’s no surprise I’m unknown
Reaching out I balance on the edge
As I stand cautiously on this ledge
That sits between heaven and hell
As they exist within this shell
Of my mind and in my soul
And I slowly lose control
For until I fall I will not know
If my choice will lead to that warm glow
Of a heavenly feeling deep within
That would show so brightly upon my skin
Or would my choice take me back to hell
Where too often I’ve been left to dwell
But there’s another choice I can see
To stay on this ledge that’s so safe for me
For if I choose not to fall
No danger exists at all
I’m old enough, or so they say
To know when I should walk away
But it’s so hard to close a door
That has let love come through before
Closing a door takes away chance
That I might get that one last dance
But now that door is closed and locked
There is another that’s not blocked
And when upon it I hear a tap
It’s free to open beyond a gap
A smoky haze filling her mind
And it leaves her feeling blind
Struggling to see the path to take
Conflicted by decisions to make
Which path would lead her to the light
Which one leads to eternal night
And which path is it she should choose
Either way there’s something to lose
Lose her heart or lose her soul
Choices always take their toll
She’ll close her eyes, leave it to Fate
To choose a course that’s true and straight
