[Lori McKenna - The Ledge lyrics]
Once you're up on the ledge
There's only one way down
So I'll keep you up there
Where you're safe and sound
My knuckles are white your ankles are red
As you dance from your height
And I lie on the ledge
The killer in me likes to see you cry
The killer in me won't let you
Won't let you die
I can't say what I feel
In fear you might fall i'm afraid for you
I'm afraid for us all
The killer in me likes to see you cry
The killer in me won't let you
Won't let you die
What makes you think you're the only one
To love and lose, and lose
You put the poison in the soup
Drench the bed with gasoline
And all for the love of you
I'm scrubbing sheets clean
The killer in me who likes to see you cry
The killer in me will not let you die
Won't let you die i will not let you die
I won't let you die
So my knuckles are white your ankles are red
And I'll spend my whole life
Keeping you up on the ledge
Keeping you up on that ledge
There's only one way down
So I'll keep you up there
Where you're safe and sound
My knuckles are white your ankles are red
As you dance from your height
And I lie on the ledge
The killer in me likes to see you cry
The killer in me won't let you
Won't let you die
I can't say what I feel
In fear you might fall i'm afraid for you
I'm afraid for us all
The killer in me likes to see you cry
The killer in me won't let you
Won't let you die
What makes you think you're the only one
To love and lose, and lose
You put the poison in the soup
Drench the bed with gasoline
And all for the love of you
I'm scrubbing sheets clean
The killer in me who likes to see you cry
The killer in me will not let you die
Won't let you die i will not let you die
I won't let you die
So my knuckles are white your ankles are red
And I'll spend my whole life
Keeping you up on the ledge
Keeping you up on that ledge
