I can't believe i could've been so blind,
But love is strange.
I thought about it for a long, long time,
But the truth remains.
I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears.
The answer's plain as black and white,
And i can see the picture very clear.
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
I don't wanna fall, i don't wanna crawl.
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
Don't you wonder why i gotta say goodbye?
It isn't like you never had the chance
To change your tune.
Did you think that i'm a dime a dance?
Well the dance is through.
I've been doin' things your way too long,
But baby that's over.
It won't be easy, but i've gotta be strong,
And if i wanna cry i don't need your shoulder.
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
I don't wanna fall, i don't wanna crawl.
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
Don't you wonder why i gotta say goodbye?
I'll find someone else who's nothing like you.
Two can play the game as well,
And you're gonna be sorry, baby,
When it's over!
[guitar interlude]
I've been doin' things your way too long,
But baby that's over.
It won't be easy but i've gotta be strong,
And if i wanna cry i don't need your shoulder.
