"It Hurts"

It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a place.
It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a face.

It hurts,
But I know that everyone makes mistakes.
It hurts,
But I know that everyone has tough breaks.

It hurts,
But I know that every heart has been damaged.
It hurts,
But I know that we are strong enough to manage.

"Sitting on the Edge"

Sitting on the edge--
Of every decision that I make.
Trying not to make
Another painful mistake.

Sitting on the edge--
Of everything I do.
Sitting on the edge--
Holding on to something new.

Sitting on the edge--
At each and every turn.
Even though in life,
You have to live and learn.

Sitting on the edge--
Trying to figure out the way.
Sitting on the edge--
Praying to God everyday.

"Another Heartache (If I Make A Mistake)"

Damn, another heartache to take--
Another moment to break--
Another painful mistake,
In this life that we make.

I didn't know you for long--
I never came off too strong--
I didn't think we belong,
But I'll still sing your song.

It's my heart that breaks--
After the choices, I make--
It's my heart that breaks,
If I make a mistake.
