I can't believe I could've been so blind, but love is strange
  I thought about it for a long long time, but the truth remains
  I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
  The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear
    [Chorus:]
  I been living on the edge of a broken heart
  I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
  I been living on the edge of a broken heart
  Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
    It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
  Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well the dance is through
  I been doing things your way too long, but baby that's over (baby that's over)
  It won't be easy, but I gotta be strong
  And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
    [chorus]
    I'll find someone else who's nothing like you
  And who can play the game as well
  And you're gonna be sorry baby - when it's over
    [Solo]
    I been doing things your way too long, baby that's over (baby that's over)
  It won't be easy, but I've got to be strong
  And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
    [chorus]
    I been living on the edge of a broken heart
  I been living on the edge of a broken heart
  Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
  I been living on the edge of a broken heart
