i feel everything

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

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

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

oh

there's a fine line between love and hurting

and knowing when to walk away

like a prima ballerina

i will tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly

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

when you can't be touched

when you can't be loved

when you fall apart

when you have no heart

i feel everything
