I waved the white flag I gave all I had I'd even given up on love itself, hmm, hmm Soaked by my tears I was choked by my fears Just a stubborn man too proud to ask for help You don't know those words you said Were the ones that pulled me from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Oh-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey The scars on my skin, they don't even begin To show the darkest places that I've been, nah, oh The water is rising behind my eyes And only you can see the thoughts I'm drowning in I wanna thank you for those words you said 'Cause they pulled me right back from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind But now I walk on bridges to reach the other side

Hungry is my state of mind Bad love left me high and dry World is getting hotter Lead me to the water You know I need some Ah ah would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be Darkness creeping late at night Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired Feeding on my weakness Planted in the season when I was so young Would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be I won't let the devil get over But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn You start to understand the man Oooh, yeah
