"Standing On The River's Edge"

I thought I was cursed and hopeless
Away from the light, away from the warmth
But a change came, bringing a new day
It wasn't purely fate that brought me here
I will be mighty till my last breath

It's a tense situation with no easy way out
I know my arms are finally weakening
When she comes back around and I'm too weak to endure any more
This won't be the last time that we meet

I'm standing on the river's edge
My life is beating soundlessly
A growing confusion, something amiss
I can't imagine how I arrived here due to the numbness in my chest

There's often a heavier load on me
Got to keep from rambling
One day this may be too much pain
I'm trying to fight

There's just no one left to help
I've been fighting my whole life I don't know why
I think I'm gonna run out of patience soon!
