Don't Look Down

One day, I won't listen. Until then, I'll write.

Hold your breath.
Pretty soon, he’ll walk away.
Then he’ll head on home and
You’ll have made it through another day.

Don’t say the words.
He might not feel the same.
And even if he says he does,
Would it change a thing?

Don’t look down.
Heard it a million times.
It’s supposed to keep you feeling safe
When you’re way up high.

Don’t look down.
Too late to say don’t fall.
Is it best to know at least he cares
Than not know at all?

Don’t look down.
You don’t know what waits there, girl.
It might be the happy ending
You’ve been searching for.

But then, maybe not.
It could be the end.
You might change everything,
You could lose a friend.

So, hold your breath.
Don’t let him see you frown.
Fake a smile, try not to cry…
And don’t look down.
