She's reached her limit too many times already
Her life seems shaky while everyone else is steady.
She never wanted it to go this far
You pushed her over the bar.

So there she is standing on the top of a skyscraper
Is there anyone who will try to save her?
In a second she'll be gone with the wind
Could this be the end?

His parents stopped talking years ago
Arguments and anger are all that he knows
He is tired of forcing a smile to show his friends that he is okay
The brightest lights in his life never seem to want to stay

So there he is standing on the top of a skyscraper
Is there anyone who will try to save him?
In a second he'll be gone with the wind
Could this be the end?

15 years, 15 stories high,
They meet each other's eye.
She takes a step from the edge, so does he
They both smile happily
He puts out his hand, she takes it.
And somehow they know they will make it

So the other day I was just staring at my notebook and then this came to me. It was kinda random
