Tightrope

It all seemed so easy

When we turned our unlikely love into reality

Making promises that we both swore to keep

When all was rosy, red and perfect

And now I can’t escape the feeling

That our sweet dream is under threat

But I won’t give in

I’ll keep fighting until the end

Something scared me

When I read your message last week

“This is getting nowhere

I don’t think its going to work anymore”

It only took those two sentences

To chill me to the core

Your tone defeatist, even drained

I didn’t have to look at your face to feel your pain

And ever since its haunted me

Each day

It’s a bit like de ja vu to tell the truth

I’ve been here before, so its nothing new

A devilish voice inside my head says

“You’re making the same mistakes, you’ll be single one day soon”

But I can’t let this happen again

I can’t sit and watch us fade

I don’t want to lose you

I know times have been hard

But you’re still the beating of my heart

Yet will that heartbeat leave me scarred

Have I played the game

Already knowing my losing fate

Have I led us to a car crash

Not seeing the danger until too late

Were we really made to break

You and I

Searching for an answer that we were never meant to find

All questions that are running through my mind

The fire still burns

So why do I feel like the tables have turned

Why just when I think I’ve made it at last

Does it feel like I’m walking on broken glass

I still have the love

So why do I feel like I’ve broken your trust

You’ve said you’ll stay

So why am I worried that you’re about to walk away

We both said that we’d never leave each other alone

Out in the cold

But I feel like I’m about to fall from a tightrope
