walking on a wire

Don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
If I hear one more excuse I'll lose my mind
It's been a quiet war behind closed doors
Ain't it getting hard to keep your balance anymore?

(Chorus)
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth, but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth, but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire

You deal in black and white and everything in between
You were blessed with such finesse I almost know what you mean
Now I can close my eyes, pretend to let it pa**
But you live on borrowed time, and it would never last

Chorus

And how does it feel with the whole world watching?
Do you feel like you're gonna fall?
Was it safer with your back up against the wall?
Why did you try when you know you were losing?
Just one mistake and you would lose it all...

Don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
If I hear one more excuse I'll lose my min
