I can't believe I could've been so blind,
But love is strange.
I thought about it for a long, long time,
But the truth remains.
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 livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl.
I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?

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

I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart.
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl.
I've been livin' 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,
And you're gonna be sorry, baby,
When it's over!


I've been doin' things your way too long,
But baby that's over.

And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder.

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