look before you leap


intaadan fallin ka fiirso

look before you leap

take in the fact that 

you've already been

dragged to the edge of this cliff

and even though

you have the biggest urge 

to look over the edge 

you can't because you might lean out to far 

to the point you have already been sucked into something you were supposed to resist

your actions lead to consequences 

the edge shows everything from the rocks,to the waterfall

pretty things might not be as pretty underneath

like even though those rocks are covered with flowers doesn't mean that they'll stop you from slipping

it's always going quick into things with you

before you can even think them through

you like making impulsive decisions 

you like going over do not cross signs

even though you know you should just stay away

before i have to drag you away 

from the same cliff

you're constantly being dragged back to

i can't help you

if you close your eyes before leaping into situations
