Lullaby
I know the feeling
of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
and there ain't no healing
from cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that
it's never that bad
take it from someone who's been where you're at
laid out on the floor
and you're not sure
you can take this anymore
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
and turn this up on the radio
if you can hear me now I'm reaching out
to let you know that you're not alone
and if you can't tell I'm scared as hell
'cause I can't get you on the telephone
so just close your eyes
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
out of the darkness and into the light
'cause I have faith in you
you're gunna make it through another night
stop thinking about the easy way out
there's no need to blow the candle out
because you're not done
your're far too young and the best it yet to come
so just give it one more lullaby.
