Nowhere to go...

Nowhere to go...

Nowhere to go but down, the hands of regret forcing me closer

I strain and try to avoid my fate

Nowhere to go but down, weight of guilt drags me toward the edge

I stumble and slip, but hate picks me up

Nowhere to go but down, the wind of time making me unsteady

I try to resist but weakness shoves me forth

Nowhere to go but down, fear urging and calling me onward

The steel beneath my foot doesn’t want me to leave

Nowhere to go but down, as I realise what I’ve done

I finally turn but it’s too late

Nowhere to go but down, as cold, grey rushes ever closer

And the bridge fades into the fog

Nowhere to go now

And all I can say, I’m sorry

Nowhere to go but up, if I sleep I know I won’t wake

If I could have stopped I would

But I didn’t know what mistake I’d make

I should have stopped and stayed

But my heart saw that I’d swayed

Nowhere to go...
