Lyrics
Another sunrise buried in the clouds
Don't get too close you won't feel the pain
Livin' day-to-day
I think it's gonna rain
Chorus:
Oh no, not again
Gettin' too close to the edge
Cuts sharp, runs deep, heart bleeds
Gettin' too close to the edge
Another notch on the bedpost
Take the moment as it comes
When it's over, you're on your way
No bruises, no scars, no pain
Chorus
Bridge:
Change the sheets
Turn the page
Travel light
No loose change
Runnin' fast to a new romance
Ten-to-one the next one won't last
Chorus
The seconds on the clock keep ticking away
You let another one slip through your hands
They keep on callin' but you're never at home
You really don't wanna be alone, no
Chorus (2x)
[Guitar lead outro]
