[Refrain]
I’m standin’ on a tightrope alone
I hold my breath a little bit longer
Halfway out the door, but it won’t close
I’m holdin’ out hope for you to

[Pre-Chorus]
Say, “Don’t go”
I would stay forever if you say, “Don’t go”

[Chorus]
Why’d you have to lead me on?
Why’d you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin’, bleedin’?
Why’d you whisper in the dark
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screamin’, screamin’

[Verse 2]
Now I’m pacin’ on shaky ground
Strike a match, then you blow it out
Oh no, oh no, it’s not fair
‘Cause you kiss mе and it stops time
And I’m yours, but you’re not mine
Oh no, oh no, you’re not there

I’m standin’ on the sidewalk alone
I wait for you to drive by
I’m tryna see the cards that you won’t show

I’m about to fold unless you

You say nothin’ back

But you won’t, but you won’t, but you won’t
