[Verse 1]
Let go of the doubt sunken beneath your skin
Or the water will swell up and drown you and
I'm right there where you are, where the lights seem to dim
And the clouds are all arranged to hide the sun again, again

[Chorus]
Hearts untethered by imbalance and the secrets that we kept
Walking tightropes just to see how far we could go before we slip
Off the edge, wake the dead, restore your faith in common sense
I need you, but I know that you couldn’t ever love me back
So why pretend?

[Verse 2]
It took so many years to get to where I am
I'm growing old, still fight the same old monsters inside of my head
There's no turning back now, I’m dying to get to you
Even if it kills me, even if it kills me

[Chorus]
Hearts untethered by imbalance and the secrets that we kept
Walking tightropes just to see how far we could go before we slip
Off the edge, wake the dead, restore your faith in common sense
I need you, but I know that you couldn't ever love me back
So why pretend?
[Chorus]
Hearts untethered by imbalance and the secrets that we kept
Walking tightropes just to see how far we could go before we slip
Off the edge, wake the dead, restore your faith in common sense
I need you, but I know that you couldn't ever love me back
So why pretend?

[Outro]
Hearts untethered by imbalance and the secrets that we kept
Walking tightropes just to see how far we could go before we slip
Off the edge, wake the dead, restore your faith in common sense
I need you, but I know that you couldn't ever love me back
So why pretend?
