Tightrope
Tightrope Tango: Love's Deceptive Dance
Lyrics
She had me in the dark
She kept me in the dark, withholding information or emotions.
I never saw it coming
I was unaware of what was about to happen; caught off guard.
She had no heart
She lacked empathy or compassion.
I was holding onto nothing
I was clinging to something that had no substance or value.
I was walking on a tightrope
I was in a precarious situation, a metaphorical tightrope, symbolizing a difficult and unstable path.
She was selling tickets to my downfall
She actively contributed to my downfall, metaphorically selling tickets as if it were a spectacle.
I never felt so low
I felt deeply depressed or defeated.
She almost had her way it was a close call
She almost succeeded in her harmful intentions; a dangerous situation narrowly avoided.
She played me like a game
She manipulated me as if I were a pawn in a game.
I must've been daydreaming
I may have been lost in unrealistic fantasies or illusions.
She's messing with my brain
She played with my thoughts and emotions.
I was wasted on a feeling
I was intoxicated or consumed by a fleeting emotion.
I was walking on a tightrope
Reiteration of the precarious situation on the metaphorical tightrope.
She was selling tickets to my downfall
Reinforces her active role in contributing to the speaker's downfall.
I never felt so low
Re-emphasizes the profound emotional low experienced by the speaker.
She almost had her way it was a close call
Reiterates the close call, narrowly avoiding a detrimental outcome.
She built me up just to tear me down
She elevated me only to bring me crashing down.
She sank my ship so she could watch me drown
She sabotaged the speaker's efforts or endeavors, causing a significant failure or downfall.
She led me on just to cut me out
She gave false hope or promises only to reject or exclude the speaker.
She dished the dirt while I was on the ground
She criticized or exposed the speaker's flaws or vulnerabilities while they were already down.
I was walking on a tightrope
Reiteration of the challenging and unstable metaphorical tightrope.
She was selling tickets to my downfall
Continuation of her role in actively contributing to the speaker's downfall.
I never felt so low
Re-emphasizes the profound emotional low experienced by the speaker.
She almost had her way it was a close call
Reiterates the close call, narrowly avoiding a detrimental outcome.
