Tightrope
Were you ever my friend?
Were we ever good friends?
Sometimes it felt like you were using me,
and now that I know that,
you're losing me.
Somtimes I wish that things could go back,
back then we all just had a blast,
but now it's too late to change the past,
but going forward, what's next?
What do you want?
What do you need?
I can't give much, I won't give too much.
They tell me to run, they tell me to leave,
I'm starting to agree,
I think I agree.
They opened my eyes, so I could see the monster
standing in front of me.
I'm just so confused, I feel used
and abused by you.
I think that I loved you after all,
I'm standing on this edge about to fall,
and now I'm standing on a tightrope
with a choice to walk or fall,
and now I'm standing on a tightrope
waiting for the wind to blow.
When I first met you
my heart wouldn't leave you,
it said it loved you
and I believed it too.
But now that I know this was all a game
I feel so ashamed
that you never felt the same,
my heart's to blame.
How did you know that I wouldn't be
as strong as I thought I was,
I am weak.
You helped me up,
then pushed me back down,
now I have to get up
somehow.
And now I'm standing on a tightrope
with a choice to walk or fall
and now I'm standing on a tightrope
waiting for the wind to blow...
