the edge of the world - billy bob thornton

One day your face will fade and your heart will see new things
Someday there will be no parade and you’ll see what life can bring
You made me wait for you while your brilliant mind was seething
I guess you didn’t know that you were the only thing that kept me breathing
I said the things I said not because I meant to harm you
Now you know that I’m nearly dead, I’ll just bet that it kind of warms you
You left me out on the edge of the world
You played your cards and your power as the girl
You watched with pride as your flag unfurled
And you watched me fall from the edge of the world
Revenge is so sweet they say, but they don’t tell you that it eats you
Your crowd is gathered ‘round today but someday they’re the ones who’ll beat you
I know that I’m wrong about what came out of me last time we talked
But do you have to shout it out that you think that I would really walk?
You left me out on the edge of the world
You played your cards and your power as the girl
You watched with pride as your flag unfurled
And you watched me fall from the edge of the world
You said I could never be too intense, it only proved that I really loved you
You said that it all made sense that I would put no one above you
And now with just one slip on my part you’ve used that to damn me
If you felt the desperation in my heart then maybe you wouldn’t slam me
You left me out on the edge of the world
You played your cards and your power as the girl
You watched with pride as your flag unfurled
And you watched me fall from the edge of the world
I pray you never lose your face, I hope it stays brand new
‘Cause in this world it’s the place where everybody seems to love you
Where I live it doesn’t mean a thing, I’ll be there in forever
If you ever hear my heart sing you’ll know we’re together
