Like a prima ballerina
I tiptoe, tiptoe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears
Or leak through the ceiling
Make my way up the 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 tight rope on a wire
I’ll attempt to jump
Through your ring of fire
I’m 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
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 ectasy
But you’re not with me
When you can’t be touched
When you can’t be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything
