Edges of my Heart

Verse 1
Woke up in a sunrise that felt like a storm,
Coffee on the counter, but my hands won’t stay warm,
Every little feeling hits like a train,
One minute I’m flying, next I’m drowning in rain.
I love like a wildfire, I fall way too fast,
Hold on like forever, scared it won’t last,
You say “I’m right here,” but my mind plays tricks,
Turns whispers to thunder, turns calm into kicks.

Pre-Chorus
I ain’t trying to push you away, I’m just scared you’ll leave,
Every “I love you” feels like something I can’t believe.

Chorus
I’m living on the edges of my heart tonight,
Where the lows run deep and the highs take flight,
I feel it all heavy, I feel it all true,
Every little heartbeat’s tied up in you.
If I hold too tight, baby, please understand,
I’m just trying to steady this shaking hand,
It’s a long road learning how to be whole,
With a borderline heart and a wide-open soul.

Verse 2
Some days I’m golden, like I’ve got it all,
Next day I’m breaking from a whisper so small,
I read every silence like it’s goodbye,
See storms in the blue of a clear open sky.
I don’t mean the words when I’m losing control,
It’s fear in the driver’s seat taking its toll,
But when I say I need you, I mean it so deep,
You’re the one steady thing I’m trying to keep.

Pre-Chorus
I ain’t trying to start a fight, I just don’t feel safe,
In a mind that can turn love into heartbreak.

Chorus
I’m living on the edges of my heart tonight,
Where the lows run deep and the highs take flight,
I feel it all heavy, I feel it all true,
Every little heartbeat’s tied up in you.
If I hold too tight, baby, please understand,
I’m just trying to steady this shaking hand,
It’s a long road learning how to be whole,
With a borderline heart and a wide-open soul.

Bridge
But I’m learning to breathe when the waves roll in,
Finding my balance somewhere within,
Therapy nights and writing it down,
Picking myself up when I hit the ground.
I’m more than the chaos, more than the pain,
More than the sunshine and more than the rain,
I’m fighting each day just to stand my ground,
And love without fear of it all falling down.

Breakdown
So if you stay, don’t stay out of pity or fear,
Stay ‘cause you see me and you want me here,
I’ll meet you halfway, I’ll give it my best,
With a heart that’s a mess but still full in my chest.

Final Chorus
Yeah I’m living on the edges of my heart tonight,
But I’m holding on strong, I’m ready to fight,
I feel it all heavy, I feel it all real,
But I’m learning at last how to heal what I feel.
If I love too hard, it’s just who I am,
But I’m growing stronger with every step I can,
It’s a long road, but I’m not alone,
With a borderline heart… I’m finding my home.

Outro
Yeah a borderline heart…
Can still find its way home.
