The Edge Of The World

written by Billy Bob Thornton from the album "The Edge of the World" 11/4/05 INTRO: One day your face will fade And your heart will see new things Someday there'll be no parade And you'll see what life can bring You made me wait for you While your brilliant mind was seething I guess you didn't know that you were The only thing that kept me breathing I said the things I said Not because I meant to harm you Now you know that I'm nearly dead I'll just bet that it kinda warms you CHORUS: You left me out on the edge of the world You played your cards and your power as the girl You watched with pride as your flag unfurled And you watched me fall from the edge of the world Revenge is so sweet they say But they don't tell you that it eats you Your crowd is gathered 'round today But someday they're the ones who'll beat you I know that I'm wrong about What came out of me last time we talked But do you have to shout it out That you think that I would really walk CHORUS You said I could never be too intense It only proved that I really loved you You said that it all made sense That I would put no one above you And now we're just one slip on my part You've used that to damn me If you felt the desperation in my heart Then maybe you wouldn't slam me CHORUS I pray you never lose your face I hope it stays brand new 'Cause in this world it's the place Where everybody seems to love you Where I live it doesn't mean a thing I'll be there in forever If you ever hear my heart sing You'll know we're together
