Always straight ahead

She has a fear of heights, way you feel when you're leaving on your first flight.
She's like a sinking stone, fading from the surface, but we are never alone.
She's on a tightrope, losing balance, yet something's pulling her towards hope.
I want to run to her, but I've already played that card, so I will fight the urge.

Eyes closed, fingers crossed praying that she's lost...
You'll never know what's around the bend. "Avoid the unknown" is ringing in your head...

She has a fear of love, accepting everything but what she really dreamed of.
She keeps her heart locked no she won't ever answer even though she hears a knock.
But love is at the door, and after all isn't that what we are here for?
I want to rescue her, but I've already tried, for there is only one cure.

(She has a fear of heights, the way you feel when you're leaving on your first flight)...
You'll never know what's around the bend. "Avoid the unknown" is ringing in your head...
While you rest inside your regret, the sun rises and sets again...
You're in your way, that's why you'll always be the same.
