Stop..

The song that inspired this one is called Stop by Dalton Rapattoni. I only own what I wrote.

I cling to the railing on the roof as I look down. I see the ground and it looks up at me, as though taunting.

I'm holding on for my dear life to the railing on the roof,
And the ground below me looks up and says 'what are you gonna do? Are you gonna throw it all away? Gonna end it all or not?'

I stare at my phone, as though that will make you call. I just need to hear your voice. You're the only one I'm living for. The only one who can save my life. I shiver as the wind picks up, blowing the flowers on the roof I'm standing on everywhere. Forget-Me-Nots.. How appropriate..

As I look around I think, maybe I should go back home.. starting to have second thoughts. I just wanted them to stop.

And I'm waiting for the phone to ring. To hear your voice again.
Cause you're the only one who can save me from this dark and lonely end. But it's getting colder by the second, surrounded by these Forget-Me-Nots.. and second thoughts.. and I want them to stop..

Please stop... Stop.. Please stop...

As time ticks by the ground begins to look more appealing, despite the stinging of the falling rain and tears streaming down my face. Through blurry eyes I gaze at your picture, holding it close so you're with me when I leave.

Well the ground is looking softer every second that I wait
And the rain is stinging on my skin as tears fall down my face
And I hold your picture in my hand
So you'll be with me when I go

I roll up my sleeves and look at the scars littering my wrists, despite you pleading with me to stop, thinking about how I got here. All the mistakes and lies.. I say goodbye to my memories as I stand there.

And I recall the moments that led me to this, all of my mistakes
I say goodbye to all my memories
And lies to my face
Cause I was hurting on the inside
So I hurt myself on the outside too
But the came you
And you begged me to stop

Please stop
Stop
Please stop

Breathing heavily I approach the edge and kiss your picture to say farewell. As I turn to lean back I see you screaming as you race to me. You want me to stop.

I walk up to the edge
And I kissed your picture goodbye
Then I turn around to lean back and I see you
With your head down screaming stop

Please stop
Stop
Please, stop

However despite your best efforts you get there just a bit too late. Our fingers brush as I fall, faster than I fell in love with you. With the small amount of strength I have left I look up to see you crying, begging for me to come back. That's when everything went black.

But you were just a little too late
I touched your fingers on my way down
Falling faster than I fell for you
And when I look back
I see you looking down on me
Screaming, crying, begging, pleading, weeping
That's when everything...
Stopped
Stopped
Stopped
Stopped

So it's probably evident I wasn't in a great frame of mind when I.wrote this but these days it's like it's an effort to be happy.
