In desperation and despair up to the bridge I climbed 
these stairs 
Because I love someone who don't love me 
When I take the final step all my heartaches will be left 
For that step will mean I'll take my life from me. 

The final step for me will be my destiny 
Life without him is a life I cannot face 
My final step will be into eternity 
And the bottom of the river will be my resting place. 

Thought that somehow I'd forget but his mem'ry haunts me 
yet 
And he wanted someone else in place of me 
Since he never can be mine there's no future I can find 
But the chilling waters wait to welcome me. 

The final step for me will be my destiny 
Life without him is a life I cannot face 
My final step will be into eternity 
And the bottom of the river will be my resting place...
