Lyrics
Heartbeat loud in a quiet place
Can’t slow down, can’t escape
I try to breathe but the air won’t stay
Panic don’t knock or go away
I smile and say I’m fine
But I’m unraveling inside
I’m walking a tightrope
One thought from the fall
I’m holding my breath
With my back to the wall
Can’t fake it forever
I’m bound to explode
I’m walking a tightrope
I’m walking a tightrope
Every room feels too loud
Every thought’s a battleground
Can’t sleep, can’t feel, can’t pray
And no one knows what to say
Tried to calm the rising tide
But the storm still lives inside
I’m walking a tightrope
One thought from the fall
I’m holding my breath
With my back to the wall
Can’t fake it forever
I’m bound to explode
I’m walking a tightrope
I’m walking a tightrope
If you feel like this too
Let them see you
Let them see you
I’m walking a tightrope
One thought from the fall
I’m screaming inside
But no one hears at all
Can’t fake it forever
I’m ready to show
I’m walking a tightrope
I’m walking a tightrope
