It's caving in around me
What I thought was solid ground
I tried to look the other way
But I couldn't turn around
It's OK for you to hate me
For all the things I've done
I've made a few mistakes
But I'm not the only one

Step away from the ledge
I'm coming down

I could never be
What you want me to
You pulled me under
To save yourself
(Save yourself)
You will never see
What's inside of me
I pulled you under just to save myself

Was there ever any question
On how much I could take?
You kept feeding me your bullshit
Hoping I would break
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone who cares?
Is there anybody listening?
Will they hear my final prayers?

Step away from the ledge
I'm coming down

I could never be
What you want me to
You pulled me under
To save yourself
(Save yourself)
You will never see
What's inside of me
I pulled you under just to save myself
(Save myself)

It's caving in around me
(Caving in)
It's tearing me apart
(Tearing me)
It's all coming down around me
(Coming down)
Does anyone
Anyone
Care at all?

I will never be
What you want me to
You pull me under
I pull you under

I could never be
What you want me to
You pulled me under
To save yourself
(Save yourself)
You will never see
What's inside of me
I pulled you under just to save myself

    Now knowing it's about suicide. Though when I first heard this song I felt a strong connection as standing faithfully, devoted by your spouse's side while their struggling. Forgiving them for demeaning you in front of others, forgiving them for their infidelity, believing in them & your marriage that it is possible to be more than she ever imagined but you have to be able to not only give love but willingly receive love. Going through heart wrenching times as your being manipulate & gas lighted. Unbeknownst because you became vulnerable for your spouse believing this is the way for emotional intimacy. Not until your destroyed & eyes open you understand she purposely tried to manipulate you hoping you would behave same & leave so they outwardly was a victim. You never blamed or behaved wrongly. You did the Right Thing believing in your Vow's. Your love was real, Always by their side while they pulled & pulled you off the cliff into the abyss with them. Did it make a difference? In the End. You were forced to walk away from edge because they cut the rope. Standing alone, Smear campaign in full effect. They burned the bridge making sure it was impossible for you to cross. Now your hated. Their full of spite & bitterness. They have isolated you because when they see you or hear your name they are reminded with the weight of their guilt. Nobody wins. I listened to this song Non-Stop along with Chalk Outline by Three Days Grace. Helped me through many nights.
