La Funambuliste

Proceed with caution as I go
Reluctantly, I'll have you know
Unwilling to give up on hope
I cling to my tightrope
Until it feels like home
You see me swaying to and fro
No hands to catch me down below
I only ever feel alone
If I truly love you so
Then I should let you go

Long for travelling light
Shed the doubts that sit on my mind
Can't let go if I tried
Better stubborn than proud
What if I never feel how it feels
With my head in the clouds?
I'll never get there if I'm scared of falling down
With both feet on the ground

So step by step, I make my way
While only wild winds prevail
Forgive, I guess, but can't forget
The way I gave my best
And lost you nonetheless
Now I've got nothing left to lose
There's only one path left to choose
The one that leads away from you
Through blizzards of bad news
With only me in view

Long for travelling light
Shed the doubts that sit on my mind
Can't let go if I tried
Better stubborn than proud
What if I never feel how it feels
With my head in the clouds?
I'll never get there if I'm scared of falling down
With both feet on the ground
