**[Verse 1]** I don't wanna write a song when I'm feeling this way I'm afraid if I sing it out loud the feeling might decide to stay I keep telling myself it isn't really what it seems But maybe you can't make things better by always running from what you feel **[Pre-Chorus]** Sometimes I don't like being me Not for who I am But every little feeling in me grows bigger than I can stand **[Chorus]** There's a little boy inside my soul walking on a wire Trying not to look below trying not to tire I stand up straight, I walk my way like everything's alright But he's up there with shaking legs just trying to survive And somehow all this weight in me can turn to love sometimes So the little boy keeps walking keeps walking on the wire **[Verse 2]** I have felt a little light come shining through my life Something warm enough to make me think maybe I'll be alright But I'm scared beneath the weight of me that little light might fade And I don't know what I'm capable of or which direction I will take **[Bridge]** Maybe feeling everything is both the wound and cure The same heart that can drown in sorrow can love beyond what words are for I wish I knew which way I'll go I wish the road was clear But the boy is still above the ground and somehow he's still here **[Final Chorus]** There's a little boy inside my soul still walking on the wire Carrying more than he should hold but refusing to retire I stand up straight, I walk my way though I don't know where it ends I've seen a little light ahead I'm just afraid it dims again I don't know yet what I can do or which way I will go But the little boy keeps walking And for now that's all I know.
