Step Back

​[Chorus]

This ain't the last floor, but it feels like it's the end

One step closer to the sky, to my only friend

Should I jump now, will it make the hurt stop?

I'm at the edge of the roof, looking down on the city block

Step back, don't do it, I hear a voice in my head

But the devil on my shoulder's already won, he said

​[Verse 1]

The air is thin up here, I can taste the city grime

Thinking 'bout all the wasted time, yeah, all my fucking crimes

Screamed at my momma, told her that I hate her guts

'Cause she loved me too much, and I was stuck in a rut

Broke a promise to my homie, told him that I'd be there

But I was too busy getting high, didn't even care

Pissed away the money my granddaddy left me

Drained it on bottles, on bitches who would just let me

​[Chorus]

This ain't the last floor, but it feels like it's the end

One step closer to the sky, to my only friend

Should I jump now, will it make the hurt stop?

I'm at the edge of the roof, looking down on the city block

Step back, don't do it, I hear a voice in my head

But the devil on my shoulder's already won, he said

​[Bridge]

I remember her face when I left her crying on the floor

Said I was a monster, then I walked out the door

Told her I was nothing, a burden, a waste of space

Now I'm up here, trying to get away from this place

All these mistakes, they're like bricks in my pocket

Pulling me down, like a fucked up locket

One last breath, one final prayer

No one to save me, no one to care

​[Chorus]

This ain't the last floor, but it feels like it's the end

One step closer to the sky, to my only friend

Should I jump now, will it make the hurt stop?

I'm at the edge of the roof, looking down on the city block

Step back, don't do it, I hear a voice in my head

But the devil on my shoulder's already won, he said

​[Chorus]

This ain't the last floor, but it feels like it's the end

One step closer to the sky, to my only friend

Should I jump now, will it make the hurt stop?

I'm at the edge of the roof, looking down on the city block

Step back, don't do it, I hear a voice in my head

But the devil on my shoulder's already won, he said

​[Outro]

Step back...

Just step back...

**[Beat slows down]**

The wind's calling my name, telling me to jump, yeah

But I can't do it, not like this, not like a punk, no

My legs are shaking, my heart is racing

This ain't the answer, this is just me replacing

One pain with another, a selfish sin

Gotta step back, gotta go back and begin again
