Tightrope Quarters of Change

[Verse 1]
I'm walking on a tightrope
Fifteen below the floor
I see a red light glowing
She's standing by the door
I can't hear what she's saying
Resolute now to ignore
I'll stand there, ask that question
"What was it all for?"

[Pre- Chorus]
Yeah, I tried to be someone
Someone that you would always want
Yeah, I tried to have hope
But now it's gone

[Chorus]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do but say goodbye
We all fall down like
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to choose so say goodbye
We all fall down like

[Verse 2]
I feel her hand now slipping
Did I hold on way too long?
I'm smoke and mirror-tripping
Oh, I've seen that trope before
I can't hear what she's saying
Resolute now to ignore
I stand there, ask that question
"What was it all for?"
