Don't Jump


While I stand there on that cliff Watching my life go by I wonder if I should jump But just step back and cry Many have cold me cruel But that is not who I am I am misunderstood But no one will understand As I stand on that cliff Ready to fall forward She grabs me by the waist And pulls my back to solid ground She tells me never to leave That life is a mystery I turn around Yet no one is there But finally I realized That is always cared
