Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know
Now I know I'm just a man on a wire
[Verse 2]
Who would have thought about the cause and effect?
Yesterday's love is now tomorrow's regret
Now I know
Now I know I'm just a man on a wire
Oh, oh
[Verse 3]
No, I can't look down
I'm tryin' to fight the feelin'
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
'Cause I
[Verse 4]
I feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you, you
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
[Verse 6]
Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know
Now you know I'm just a man on a wire
Oh, oh
[Verse 7]
When I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences
And I
[Verse 8]
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you, you
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
[Verse 10]
Oh
The higher it gets
Oh, the more I miss the ground
No safety net
Oh, now you're not around
I have to keep walking to keep me from falling down
[Verse 11]
Yeah
Feels like I'm walkin' a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm countin' on high hopes
To get me over you, you
[Verse 12]
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire, yeah
