Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Edge Of A Broken Heart Lyrics

Richard Marx

I cant believe I couldve been so blind,
But love is strange.
I thought about it for a long, long time,
But the truth remains.
I dont need another lonely night to dry my tears.
The answers plain as black and white,
And I can see the picture very clear.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
I dont wanna fall, I dont wanna crawl.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
Dont you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?
It isnt like you never had the chance
To change your tune.
Did you think that Im a dime a dance?
Well the dance is through.
Ive been doin things your way too long,
But baby thats over.
It wont be easy, but Ive gotta be strong,
And if I wanna cry I dont need your shoulder.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
I dont wanna fall, I dont wanna crawl.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
Dont you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?
Ill find someone else whos nothing like you.
Two can play the game as well,
And youre gonna be sorry, baby,
When its over!
[guitar interlude]
Ive been doin things your way too long,
But baby thats over.
It wont be easy but Ive gotta be strong,
And if I wanna cry I dont need your shoulder.
[chorus out]
