Back from the Edge - James Arthur

Back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back before demons took control of my head

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Oh, he would reach for the stars, yeah

You can take my home, you can take my clothes

You can take the drugs I have that nobody knows

You can take my watch, you can take my phone

You can take all I've got 'til I'm skin and bone

I don't want control, I can dig my own hole

I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold

'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell

But now I'm back with my own story to tell

Back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back before demons took control of my head

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Oh, back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back from the tears that were too easily shed

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Who would reach for the stars, yeah

They don't like my lines, they don't like my songs

Except in karaoke when they're singing along

Did you see them build me up?

Watch me tear myself down

With a smile on my face, I dug my grave in the ground

We all make mistakes, we're so quick to judge

It's hard to forgive when we hold onto a grudge

So turn down the heat, I've been burnin' in hell

But now I'm back with my own story to tell

Back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back before demons took control of my head

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Oh, back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back from the tears that were too easily shed

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Who would reach for the stars, yeah

I don't want control, I can dig my own hole

I can make my bed and I can lie in it cold

'Cause I don't need heat, I've been burnin' in hell

But now I'm back with my own story to tell

Back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back before demons took control of my head

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Oh, back from the edge

Back from the dead

Back from the tears that were too easily shed

Back to the start

Back to my heart

Back to the boy who would reach for the stars

Who would reach for the stars, yeah
