Who'd a thought that

I'd be here by myself?

Who'd a thought that

You'd be bad for my health?

Now I know, now I know

I'm just a man on a wire

Who'd a 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

No I can't look down,

I'm tryna fight the feeling

I will fall to the ground

If I ever see you, cos

I feel like

I'm walking a tightrope

My heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

Cos I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Who'd a thought

I'd see you with someone else?

Who'd a thought

That I'd be in such a mess?

Now you know, now you know

I'm just a man on a wire

But I'll walk that line

I’ll try and keep my senses

Make it to the other side

I know the consequences, and

I feel like

I'm walking a tightrope

My heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

Cos I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Cos I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Cos I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

The higher it gets

The more I miss the ground

No safety nets

Now you’re not around

I have to keep walking

To keep me from falling down

Feels like

I'm walking a tightrope

My heart is in my throat

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you

And I've got my eyes closed

As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

Cos I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, 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
