Dancing on a tightrope
Trying to keep my eyes closed
I don't wanna hurt again
Such a good pretender
Can't even remember
When I didn't hold things in

Lying awake trying to make my brain slow down
(How can we, how can we?)
We say we're ok but we're just afraid of the fallout

How can we, how can we heal our wounds
When they keep ripping open?
How can we, how can we hear the truth
When it's never been spoken?
How can we, how can we heal
When the love is what's keeping us broken?

(How can we, how can we?)

I don't wanna lose you
And you don't wanna lose me
That much we know for sure
So how'd we end up like this?
We're dancing in the silence
Hearts bleeding on the floor

Holding you close but I know
We both feel the distance
(How can we, how can we?)
We keep holding on
'Cause all could be lost in an instant

So how can we, how can we heal our wounds
When they keep ripping open?
How can we, how can we hear the truth
When it's never been spoken?
How can we, how can we heal
How can we, how can we heal
When the love is what's keeping us broken?

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me, oh
Tell me that you love me
Say you'll never leave me, oh

But how can we, how can we heal our wounds
When they keep ripping open?
How can we, how can we hear the truth
When it's never been spoken?

How can we, how can we heal our wounds
When they keep ripping open?
How can we, how can we hear the truth when it's
Never been spoken?
How can we, how can we heal
How can we, how can we heal
When the love is what's keeping us broken?

(How can we, how can we)
Dancing on a tightrope
Trying to keep my eyes closed
