Close to the Edge Lyrics

I’m standing close to the edge
I witnessed all those things you said
I’ve tried not to let them in
But here I’m standing close to the edge

How was I supposed to know
Not to hate but to care
A distant dream that I forgot
Could have served me so well
So so well

Can’t you see that it’s not my fault
It’s just the way I’ve been brought up
Another person I can blame
Another way to hide my pain

Do you think
That ordinary people
With ordinary problems
Don’t suffer

Well I’m begging you
To hold your lips tight
There’s all of these people
Close to the edge

Be not forgotten
All who have fallen
All who have fallen
All who have fallen
Have fallen, have fallen
All who have fallen
Have fallen, have fallen

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
