A momentary lapse casts me into oblivion

Am I wasting all this time

Just trying to find the warmth in your eyes

I've been holding back myself, but i'm closer to the edge



Dusk approaches... I'm standing in the city lights



Am I here in vain

Did you not hear a word I said

When I asked you I begged you

To just please let me through

I have fallen now

Will you pick me up again

In the face of my failures

I just want you to hear these words



Forget the obvious mistakes so I can breathe

Let me offer you all that I can give

Don't shut me out again

I'll shake but I will stand

I'm slipping constantly

I've fallen off the edge



Am I here in vain

Did you not hear a word I said

When I asked you I begged you

To just please let me through

I have fallen now

Will you pick me up again

In the face of my failures

I just want you to hear these words
