The Edge of Fear

[Intro]
Silent nights, heavy hearts, questions spinning in my mind
A choice to make, a life to change, but I'm stuck behind
The fears that hold me back, whispering so loud
Is love enough to fight, or am I just lost in the crowd?

[Verse 1]
I stand at the edge, looking down at what could be
A future unspoken yet, afraid to set it free
The memories linger, companions of the fear
Can I find the courage, or do I disappear?

[Pre-Chorus]
You ask if I’ll stay, if I’ll be there when I’m gone
But do I ask myself the question, or just go along?
Your voice echoes in my mind, seeking reassurance
Yet I see my own reflection, trapped in my own resistance

[Chorus]
Is it selfish to stay, afraid of walking away?
To hold on tightly, even though I know I should
I don’t want to hurt, but I fear the unknown
In this silent struggle, I’m fighting to be grown

[Verse 2]
Struggling with the truth, my heart is torn in two
A love that feels like shackles, or a sky so blue
Could I risk the pain, the tears, the might-have-been?
Or stay in comfort’s shadow, hiding from the unseen?

[Pre-Chorus]
You ask if I’ll stay, if I’ll be there when I’m gone
But do I ask myself the question, or just go along?
Your voice echoes in my mind, seeking reassurance
Yet I see my own reflection, trapped in my own resistance

[Chorus]
Is it selfish to stay, afraid of walking away?
To hold on tightly, even though I know I should
I don’t want to hurt, but I fear the unknown
In this silent struggle, I’m fighting to be grown

[Bridge]
Maybe the bravest thing is to let go
To face the fears, to find out what I don’t know
But the promise of comfort, keeps me from the leap
Yet, in my heart, I know, this pain runs too deep

[Outro]
So I stand here, caught in this limbo’s embrace
Till I choose my truth, and leave behind the chase
The courage to change, to say goodbye, to start anew
Begins from within, with the strength I need to pursue
