All I wanna do is understand
What makes a man besides his story
Mine has always been a tangled thread
Of half way there's and misled fortune
All I ever do is walk away from
Anything that's ever tied me down
Tryin' to cope but the rope is runnin out
I'm on the verge of unwinding
Show me what it means to be alive
Before it all unwinds
Is it always do or die
I'm on a tightrope, watchin it all unwind
Tired of looking at the other side
And wondering why I'm still in pieces
Where's the confidence to walk the line
I'm half way there but still defeated
All I wanna do is find a balance
I can feel it if I don't look down
Try to cope till the rope is all worn out
I'm on the verge of unwinding
I'm suddenly fallin as it all unwinds for me
Show me what it means to be alive
Before it all unwinds
Is it always do or die
I'm on a tightrope, watchin it all unwind
Suddenly fallin beyond, and the storm rages on
All the threads have tied and tangled for the last time
It's either get up or give up, get up or give up
Show me what it means to be alive
Before it all unwinds
Is it always do or die
I'm on a tightrope
Show me what it means
Before it all unwinds
Show me what it means
Before it all unwinds
Show me what it means
