I walk the tightrope and tell you I love you Even if you don't Even if you don't I'll say the words that I long to hear "I hold you so dear"
I hold my breath in the moments that follow Even though you don't Even though you don't And then you speak so soft I can't hear a word that you are saying (what are you saying?)
She's singing songs of passion She's singing songs of silence Her words are bolts of lightning:
"What do you see when you look at me? Am I the one or am I just another androgynous friend in the passing How weak am I? When I'm not in your bed Do I still figure in your head Do you think of me in the night when you can't sleep?"
And she's singing: "I can never be with you"
I walk the tightrope and tell you I love you Even if you don't Even if you don't I'll say the words that I long to hear "I hold you so dear"
