[Verse 1]
"Keep smiling," they say
"Bite your tongue," not today
It's real, you can't deny it
Don't run, don't hide behind it
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't speak, hold your breath
Never feel at your best
Don't run, don't hide behind it
Stand up and shout about it
[Chorus]
I'll build it up and I'll tear it down
I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound
I do what I want, I like what I like
'Cause only I can fight my own fight
Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead
And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge
[Verse 2]
Take it all in your stride
Living fast through the night
It's real, don't try to fight it
Then run and hide behind it
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, maybe they're right
Living life on the edge
Stay strong and never doubt it
Stand up and shout about it, shout about it
[Chorus]
I'll build it up and I'll tear it down
I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound
I do what I want, I like what I like
'Cause only I can fight my own fight
Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead
And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge
I'm living on the edge, I'm living on the edge
I'm living on the edge, I'm living on the edge
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
I'll build it up and I'll tear it down
I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound
I do what I want, I like what I like
'Cause only I can fight my own fight
Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead
And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge
