ON THE EDGE
Ayla Reed
You say: Don't
I say: Why?
Then I do it anyway
You go quiet, I fall in
Every single time you fade
I call back again
You don't lose, I don't win
Say it's real, then you twist
Got me hooked on this
You keep me on the edge
On the edge, one word and I'm a mess
I'm a mess, say less, I overthink
Every time your name lights up my screen
I know better, I swear
I swear, still I'm caught in your stare
Your stare, tell me why I still want you
And I know it's not fair
Short replies, long nights
But you read everything I write
Say my name like a game
Like you're checking if I'll stay
In my head, in my chest
You don't want to, can't forget
Say we're through, then I slip
Right back into it
You keep me on the edge
On the edge, one word and I'm a mess
I'm a mess, say less, I overthink
Every time your name lights up my screen
I know better, I swear
I swear, still I'm caught in your stare
Your stare, tell me why I still want you
And I know it's not fair
