Lyrics Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson

Tightrope

I'm on the tightrope, you've got your reasons

When did it get so hard to breathe?

Hot in the spotlight, I'm feelin' so tired

Your hands are burned from holdin' me

And maybe you and I will fall in time

Eventually

Maybe we'll both die trying

But I can't bring myself to leave

'Cause I've looked

And I ain't seen nothin' like you

The way you light up every room tonight

So easily

And I have moved mountains, babe

Just to stumble into your good grace

And I, I still can't compete

You're on the tightrope, I've got my reasons

How did we get so tangled?

You turn, I stay straight, I bend as you break

We're so messed up, but I know

That you and I will fall in time, eventually

Or maybe we'll both die trying

'Cause I ain't seen nothin' like you

The way you light up every room tonight

So easily

And I have moved mountains, babe

Just to stumble into your good grace

And I, I still can't compete

Oh, you and I will fall in time eventually

Or maybe we'll both die trying

'Cause I ain't seen nothin' like you

The way you light up every room tonight

So easily

And I have moved mountains, babe

Just to stumble into your good grace

And I, I still can't compete
