Tightrope Lyrics

I've been walking on a tightrope all of my life

I've been told not to look down, told to do what's right

So I'll keep walking forward, one foot at a time

I'll walk in a straight line not knowing why

Sometimes I lose my balance but I won't show it

I don't let the other people around me notice

I shove all my worries down it'll make me stronger

If I can hold on for a little while longer

But the shadows they'll find me, come up from the depths

Underneath the tightrope, they'll grip and I'll take my last breath

Not to worry, I'm fine it was all a dream

I'm still walking in a straight line towards reality

It's OK I'm still smiling

One foot at a time

I'm laughing so hard or am I just crying

In the dark I find something's changed inside

I indulge in the fall I'll erase it all

If I don't know what I'm fighting for

If I don't know what it is all for

If I can't be who they want me to be

How will a tightrope make me happy?

So I'll tip-toe across this great divide

Never traveling backwards into my mind

I wish I could know you're alright

But you belong to a heart I left behind
