The Ledge Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

Under water, under the well 

Under glass, under a ground swell 

Chasing bliss, chasing my tail 

Chasing desire, straight down to Hell 

I couldn't love, could not forgive 

I didn't know how to live and let live 

My choices were few 

On the ledge, looking up at you 

Overdrawn, overfed 

Overrun, over my head 

I held a grudge, I held a gun 

I held contempt for everyone

I couldn't cry, I couldn't learn 

I didn't flinch when bridges burned 

I was lost, through and through 

On the ledge, looking up at you 

I lived alone, I lived in rage 

I lived in darkness inside a cage 

On the fringe, a refugee 

I couldn't trace it back to me 

I grew mean, I grew small 

I grew tired of it all 

I couldn't tell false from true 

On the ledge, looking up at you 

Out of luck, out of time 

Out of control, out of my mind 

Running scared, running down 

Running low to the ground

The blows were hard, the blows were mean 

The blows were low, the blows were clean 

I was left black and blue 

On the ledge, looking up at you
