Lyrics: Stephanie McIntosh. Tightrope. So Do I Say Sorry First?.

So welcome to my nightmare
My heaven and my hell
This passionate contradiction
Of bitter sweet is where I dwell

You choose a day like today
To get me real upset
The more I love you, more I hate you
More it scares me to death

I can't keep fighting this battle with you
I can't hear words when you scream like you do
If I cry will you hold me just like we rehearsed?
So do I, so do I say sorry first?

I'm flawed, I'm so imperfect
But I ain't insecure
Your jealous heart is poisoned
Tell me how could I trust you more?

I can't keep fighting this battle with you
I can't hear words when you scream like you do
If I cry will you hold me just like we rehearsed?
So do I, so do I say sorry first?

Sometimes I think we feel too much too deep
This all consuming love can't breathe
So angry, so frustrated
How we get here?

Hear me and listen to what I say
From my heart
I swear to you that won't change
I hope you learn to trust somebody

I can't keep fighting this battle with you
I can't hear words when you scream like you do

I can't keep fighting this battle with you
I can't hear words when you scream like you do
If I cry will you hold me just like we rehearsed?
So do I, so do I say sorry first?

I can't keep fighting this battle with you
I can't hear words when you scream like you do
If I cry will you hold me just like we rehearsed?
So do I, so do I say sorry first?
