We Walk The Line

We walk this thin line.
Maybe it's a tight rope stretched over a canyon,
or maybe it is just across a shallow pool.
One way or another, one of us is going to fall and get hurt.
With all the great precision and care I have taken in walking the line,
I seem to fall all the time.
I guess you can say I have been lucky to only fall into the shallow pool,
But this time I am afraid that when I fall it's going to be into the canyon.
We are farther along then we have ever been,
but if I speak up now I know, I will fall in.
This has been my problem for years.
No matter how hard I try to keep my balance I always loose my footing.
You on the other hand, have always been the perfect one, and not lost his footing.
I am on the verge of falling off again,
for once this time why can't you step up and take the fall?
All I want from you is for you to express your real feelings on this friendship we have.
I want this thin line we teeter on to be stronger.
I want you to tell me that you really do want me, and that you have always felt this way.
Can I expect you to really come through, and take the fall for once?
You probably won't, because you never have before.
I have always been the one to say what is on my heart.
I have always been the one to loose my footing and fall.
I do not want it to be me again; I want this to be finished.
This thin line we walk is getting too hard for me.
This is not the end I just want this to be a new beginning.
Maybe this is too hard to ask of you,
but do you not think I have it hard these past few years?
I am not going to fall anymore.
My lips are sealed, and my heart is closed.
If you want anything from me, you are going to have to take the fall.
