Back from the edgeBack from the deadBack before demonstook control of my headBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsOh, he would reach for the stars, yeahYou can take my home, you can take my clothesYou can take the drugs I have that nobody knowsYou can take my watch, you can take my phoneYou can take all I've got 'til I'm skin and boneI don't want control, I can dig my own holeI can make my bed and I can lie in it cold'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hellBut now I'm backwith my own story to tellBack from the edgeBack from the deadBack before demonstook control of my headBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsOh, back from the edgeBack from the deadBack from the tears that were too easily shedBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsWho would reach for the stars, yeahThey don't like my linesThey don't like my songsExcept in karaoke when they're singing alongDid you see them build me up?Watch me tear myself downWith a smile on my face, I dug my grave in the groundWe all make mistakes, we're so quick to judgeIt's hard to forgive when we hold onto a grudgeSo turn down the heat, I've been burnin' in hellBut now I'm backwith my own story to tellBack from the edgeBack from the deadBack before demonstook control of my headBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsOh, back from the edgeBack from the deadBack from the tears that were too easily shedBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsWho would reach for the stars, yeahI don't want control, I can dig my own holeI can make my bed and I can lie in it cold'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hellBut now I'm backwith my own story to tellBack from the edgeBack from the deadBack before demonstook control of my headBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsOh, back from the edgeBack from the deadBack from the tears that were too easily shedBack to the startBack to my heartBack to the boywho would reach for the starsWho would reach for the stars, yeah
