On the Brink
Jaela DeShazo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is running thin
Look at all this mess we're in
Me and you ridin' round in circles
In circles

I'm on the brink of losing you and you missin' me baby
So busy lyin' to me tryin' to hide it lately
You had your chance to prove to me who you think you can truly be
And it's not for me
I'm on the brink

I'm on the brink of losin' you
But I'm off in a heartbeat baby
I'm on the brink of startin' something new

It's not even worth the fight
You can't really justify
We just might not be right
Be right

I'm on the brink of losing you and you missin' me baby
So busy lyin' to me tryin' to hide it lately
(So busy)
You had your chance to prove to me who you think you can truly be
(Prove to me)
And it's not for me
I'm on the brink

I'm on the brink of losin' you
But I'm off in a heartbeat baby
I'm on the brink of startin' something new

Oh baby I wish I could stay
I need you to know
(Need you to know)
Mind changin' thoughts rearrangin'
Let me take this slow
(Take this slow)

Oh baby don't try to chase me
I need you to know
(Need you to know)
Won't hear you
Please just let me be
Let me take this slow
Take this slow

I'm on the brink of losin' you
But I'm off in a heartbeat baby
I'm on the brink of startin' something new

I'm on the brink of losin' you
But I'm off in a heartbeat baby
I'm on the brink of startin' something new

I'm on the brink of losin' you




But I'm off in a heartbeat baby
I'm on the brink of startin' something new
