I can't let myself cry
I can't stay awake and wonder why
I've got to hold it together
I'm not getting worse, not getting better

It's like I'm on a tightrope
Taking it slow

I'm walking a fine line
I'm not at my best, I'm a bit of a mess
But I'm alright
Keeping my eyes on the horizon
Oh, I can't look down until I've learned to fly
So I'm walking on a fine line

My friends from home are calling me
To say they miss me, and to ask how I've been
But I never know what to say
How do I tell them I'm about to break?

'Cause I'm on a tightrope
Taking it slow

I'm walking a fine line
I'm not at my best, I'm a bit of a mess
But I'm alright
Keeping my eyes on the horizon
Oh, I can't look down until I've learned to fly
So I'm walking on a fine line

Oh, I can't look down until I've learned to fly
If I'm falling, I'll feel it in the middle of the night
But they say all my pain, it will heal in due time
So I'm walking on a fine line
Walking on a fine line
