Like a prima ballerina
I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day
[Chorus]
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything
On a tightrope
On a wire
I'll attempt to jump through a ring of fire
I am waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder
[Chorus]
Oh
There's a fine line between love and hurting
And knowing just when to walk away
Like a prima ballerina
I will tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly
[Chorus]
When you can't be touched
When you can't be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything
