Twenty feet off the ground

I'm holding on to a rope
That has me twenty feet off the ground
But if I fell
Would it even make a sound
To you

Hands losing grip
As my head starts to pound
With the fear
Of you not being around
As you choose

To live a life
Without me by your side
I can think of a million reasons why
You'd be better
With me this time
But its too late

My grip falls with my fate
When all hope is finally gone
And your regrets finally taunt
You with the inevitable sound
Of me falling twenty feet to the ground

Interesting write you have here...a guy that's holding on and just can't hold on any longer. The girl has obviously took him through too much heartache, damage, pain. Perhaps he was waiting for her to come running back to him, hearing her beg him not to let go...that she was wrong and takes back all the pain she caused him. Then they could live happily ever after. But we all know life isn't so full of those lightful things anymore...it's like trying to go back in time and change the future somehow.
