I can feel you slippin' away
As you slowly cut me off so you save face
Remove the Band-Aid inch by inch
You've been busy
It's all part of the process
Gradually wean me off like I'm a child
Hangin' by a thread, just wastin' time
Tiptoe across the tightrope
One gust and you're dead on the pavement
Past the point of savin'
Graspin' for some kind of framework
That could salvage the pain
To balance the blame
But it's time for me to face
We've always been a losing game
It's so tempting to fall back in
To the highs and lows and pick up bad habits
It'd be easy to forget
All the long nights and the broken promises
You've consistently shown
My love's too much to handle
I've had enough
I need some peace of mind
Tiptoe across the tightrope
One gust and you're dead on the pavement
Past the point of savin'
Graspin' for some kind of framework
That could salvage the pain
To balance the blame
But it's time for me to face
We've always been a losing game
How do I cut you off
You used to be everything I want
Why did I let you in
Will I ever learn my lesson
Danglin' on the edge of the deep end
One kiss away from no return
You're sayin' you'll miss me
You give me your reasons
But I'm not a consolation prize to be won
Tiptoe across the tightrope
One gust and you're dead on the pavement
Past the point of savin'
Graspin' for some kind of framework
That could salvage the pain
To balance the blame
Tiptoe across the tightrope
One gust and you're dead on the pavement
Past the point of savin'
Graspin' for some kind of framework
That could salvage the pain
To balance the blame
But it's time for us to face
We've always been a losing game
