I’ve been walking this wire most of my life One wrong move, it’s a freefall dive You say my name like it’s safe to stay But I’ve been burned getting this close to the flame Every promise sounds good out loud Till it fades in the background noise somehow I don’t need lies, I don’t need proof I just don’t know if I believe the truth I don’t doubt your heart, I doubt the fall The higher we climb, the harder it all Hits the ground when love breaks through I’m already bleeding just loving you Jealousy lives where my trust should be I see shadows where love should lead If I give you the best of me You’ll know exactly how to hurt me I want your touch, I want your name But I’m too close—too close to the flame I’ve seen heaven turn into goodbye Watched forever blink and die They all swore they’d never change Till they proved me right, again You say “trust me,” I almost do But fear’s a ghost standing next to you Every second feels borrowed time Like loving you’s crossing another line I don’t need scars to remember pain I feel it every time you say my name I know how this story ends I lose myself, then I lose you again Jealousy lives where my trust should be I see shadows where love should lead If I give you the best of me You’ll know exactly how to hurt me I want your touch, I want your name But I’m too close—too close to the flame If love’s a fire, I feel the heat Every time you pull me closer to me I don’t want to run, I don’t want to fight But I’ve been losing this war every night ead guitar Jealousy screams where my trust should be Fear keeps time inside of me If I let you inside my skin You’ll find where the damage lives within I want your love, I want the pain Still reaching through the flame If I pull away, don’t say I’m afraid I just know the price of the love you gave
