Tightrope (feat. Jason Richardson)

I could feel (I could feel) My heart sink I had been pushed (I had been pushed) To the brink Losing this conflict was all I could handle I thought my world was ending But it was only expanding It wasn't the emotion I thought I'd expect "This won't happen" was engrained in my head My absence was always my escape I wasn't in the best place (best place) Your old memories, I can't restore Not stories of Wayfair and folklore My undivided attention was served in seconds For you, I had to mend them The best parts of me were beckoning I swallowed my fears I'm so grateful you're here The last two years Would've been unbearable Without you there (without you there) I thought I bided my time too long It turns out the timing was perfect In the end, the wait was all worth it The brightness guided me through the fog A constant beam of light that set my course right I had taken on too much (it took over me) Longing for what I had when I was young I had taken on too much, (my responsibilities) are choking me Setting boundaries for myself I'm the one who keeps walking all over them Creating limits for abuse I'm the one leaving myself battered and bruised Where is my incentive (my incentive) To find my healing? I let misery be my motivator I could sense myself slip into this crater I'll only be one thing forever I'll slide the scales back to the center The agony and anguish were just all part of the endeavor
