Lyrics
Tightrope
How long will it take
for them to read between the lines and stop hoping?
Before they break the ties and let go of all the lies that they’ve been keeping
He’s become her way of dealing with the things that ache and things that aren’t
And I’m watching with blind eyes the way he reconciles her cries so recklessly
But when it comes down, to what he wants
She’ll put her hands down, and bear no guard
Because it’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
And how long will it take before they find that it’s too late
To turn around
They’re breaking down with time but both walking the thin line
between loss and longevity.
And when it comes time, to what he wants
She’ll put her hands down, and bear no guard
Because it’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
It’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
I know you’re feeling lost at times,
When everything you ravel just unwinds
You’ve got to lay it down, for the last time
For the last time…
Because it’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
It’s hard to let go, when it’s a tightrope
That you’re walking
