You were standing on the top of the ladder
Saw the other side of famous
And you stepped right through
When you leapt into the air
Spread your wings and flew
We were watching you
You got sick along the line somewhere
Nobody could stop you
But everyone knew
The higher you climbed
Yeah your sickness grew
We were watching you
So walk away
Just walk away
If you want to keep your legacy alive
Just walk away
Just walk away
I only want to see you survive
The world in your hands and you threw it away
You can't get it back now
No matter what you do
Your light was gold
Now it's black and blue
We were watching you
But if you get clean
And if you don't die
And if you wise up
We'll be waiting
