High wire, walkin' with no net

Never knowin' if the very next step

Is gonna take me far or take me down

Leave me hangin' or on solid ground

Should I jump and face the hurt?

Give it all for all it's worth

At least I know I fell to fall

At least I know I chose to risk it all

You love me but leave me so confused

Don't know what you wanna do

You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment that you're so afraid of

And I'm out here all alone

Well, I won't be hangin' on

To this high wire for long

You talk of weddings each July

If we look at diamonds, you don't buy

It's not the promises you break

It's my heart each time you say, "Someday"

You love me but leave me so confused

Don't know what you wanna do

You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment that you're so afraid of

And I'm out here all alone

Well, I won't be hangin' on

To this high wire for long

Time is your enemy, my friend

Too late's comin', what will you do then?

You love me but leave me so confused

Don't know what you wanna do

You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment that you're so afraid of

And I'm out here all alone

Well, I won't be hangin' on

To this high wire for long

No, I won't be hangin' on

To this high wire for long
