I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, 
You could cut ties with all the lies, 
That you've been living in, 
And if you do not want to see me again, 
I would understand.
I would understand.

The angry boy, 
bit too insane, 
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong.

You're the first to fight, 
You're way too loud, 
You're The flash of light, 
On a burial shroud, 
I know something's wrong

Well everyone I know has got a reason, 
To say, 
Put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, 
You could cut ties with all the lies, 
That you've been living in, 
And if you do not want to see me again, 
I would understand, 
I would understand.

And well he's on the table, 
And he's gone to code, 
And I do not think anyone knows, 
What they are doing here, 

And your friends have left you, 
You've been dismissed.
I never thought it [bad word] to this, 
And I, I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons, 
Maybe today, 
We can put the past away! 

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies, 
That you've been living in, 
And if you do not want to see me again, 
I would understand, 
I would understand, 
I would understand... 

(I would understand)
(I would understand)
(Understand)

Ya ya ya ya ya... 

Can you put the past away? 

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, 
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, )
I would understand
(I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, )
And I would understand
