Tightrope

Lyrics for Tightrope

I walk the tightrope And tell you I love you Even if you don't Even if you don't I'll say the words that I long to hear "I hold you so dear" I hold my breath in the moments that follow Even though you don't Even though you don't And then you speak so soft I can't hear a word that You are saying (What are you saying?) She's singing songs of passion She's singing songs of silence Her words are bolts of lightning: "What do you see when you look at me? Am I the one or am I just another Androgynous friend in the passing How weak am I? When I'm not in your bed Do I still figure in your head Do you think of me in the night When you can't sleep?" And she's singing: "I can never be with you" I walk the tightrope And tell you I love you Even if you don't Even if you don't I'll say the words that I long to hear "I hold you so dear"
