TIGHTROPE

I Don’t Want To Fall In Love
Too Much Pain, Too Complicated

But Who Can Live a Life
Making Every Choice Belated

Between A Safety Net
And A Chance With You, I Cowardly Stand
I Think I Will Carefully Walk This Tightrope
Until I No Longer Can

I Know I’m Running Out of Time
There’s No Need to Remind Me

I Have To Make a Choice
And Place My Fears Behind Me

I Just Don’t Want to Be Hurt Again
Placing My Heart in the Hands of My Mind

Tell Me How Can I Survive
If I Fall While Crossing the Line

For So Long
My Comfort Zone
Is the Only Life I’ve Known

Now I Know It’s Wrong
But Life On My Tightrope
Has Become My Home

I’ll Guess I’ll Just Reason With My Senses
And Slowly Let Down My Defenses
‘Cause suddenly It All Seems So Senseless

I Don’t Wanna Go Insane
But How Can I Endure the Pain
Of Finding That You’re Playing Games

I Don’t Mean To Complain
But Tell Me How Can I Be Sure

You Won’t Walk Out The Door
And Leave Me In The Pouring Rain
