I can't believe I could have been so blind, but love is strange
I thought about it for a long, long time, but the truth remains
And I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye, ooh

It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well, the dance is through

And I've been doing things for way too long
But baby, that's over (baby, that's over)
It won't be easy but I gotta be strong
An' if I wanna cry, I don't need your shoulder

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

I'll find someone else
Who's nothing like you
Two can play the game as well
An' you're gonna be sorry, baby, when it's over, ooh

Well, I've been doing things for way too long
Baby, that's over (baby, that's over)
It won't be easy but I gotta be strong
An' if I wanna cry, I don't need your shoulder

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye

I've been living on the edge of a broken heart (I-ooh)
I've been living on the edge of a broken heart (mm, uhh)
No, I don't wanna fall
And I don't wanna crawl
I-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Ooh-ooh
