Sugar Free Lyrics

Tight rope walking ain't that hard
After slamming back a few you're laughing now
But it ain't that funny when they get through with you
You see me wishing i were you but it hurts too much to try
I failed before so now why bother
Hurts so much i think i'll cry

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

Standing closer ain't that bad
With your hands upon your face you looked too far
I looked much farther and lost all sense of trace
You see me wishing i were you but I'll never be the same
Never had such a sense of wonder
Never knew they had a brain

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

I can't hear myself scream and I can't hear myself dream

Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Run
Just hit the floor
Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Still I'd catch you

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry

Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Run
Just hit the floor
Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Still I'd catch you

Tight rope walking ain't that hard 
After slamming back a few you're laughing now 
But it ain't that funny when they get through with you 
You see me wishing i were you but it hurts too much to try 
I failed before so now why bother 
Hurts so much i think i'll cry

If I never knew you I'd never love you 
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you 
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

Standing closer ain't that bad 
With your hands upon your face you looked too far 
I looked much farther and lost all sense of trace 
You see me wishing i were you but I'll never be the same 
Never had such a sense of wonder
Never knew they had a brain

If I never knew you I'd never love you 
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you 
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

I can't hear myself scream and I can't hear myself dream

Nobody's falling 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody 
Run 
Just hit the floor 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody 
Still I'd catch you

If I never knew you I'd never love you 
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry

Nobody's falling 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody 
Run 
Just hit the floor 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody's falling 
Nobody 
Still I'd catch you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

here's the REAL lyrics:

Tight Rope Walking ain't That Hard After Slamming Back A Few You're Laughing Now But It ain't That Funny When we Get Through With You Tell me we're all about failing and being wrong Tell me I'll never let go of you, I will never give or take you for a ride

And I can't hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry) And I can't hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die) And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you And I can't feel myself crying

Standing closer ain't that bad With your hands upon your face You look too far I looked much harder And they lost all sense of trace Me and draw up colour me lost and found Tear me down lift me up you make me feel so god damn colder than you're bleeding eyes

If I Never Knew You I'd Never Love You If I Never Loved You Then I Wouldn't Cry If I Never Hold You Then I'll never know you If Loving Meant Living Then I Wouldn't Die

And I can't hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You,I Wouldn't Cry) And I can't hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die) And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you And I can't feel myself crying

And I can't hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry) And I can't hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die) And I can't hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry) And I can't hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)

here's the REAL lyrics:

Tight Rope Walking ain't That Hard
After Slamming Back A Few
You're Laughing Now But It ain't That Funny
When we Get Through With You
Tell me we're all about failing and being wrong
Tell me I'll never let go of you,
 I will never give or take you for a ride

And I can't hear myself scream 
(If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry)
And I can't hear myself dream 
(If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

Standing closer ain't that bad
With your hands upon your face
You look too far I looked much harder
And they lost all sense of trace
Me and draw up colour me lost and found
Tear me down lift me up you make me feel so god damn colder than you're bleeding eyes

And I can't hear myself scream 
(If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
 (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

If I Never Knew You
I'd Never Love You
If I Never Loved You
Then I Wouldn't Cry
If I Never Hold You
Then I'll never know you
If Loving Meant Living
Then I Wouldn't Die

And I can't hear myself scream
 (If I Never Loved You,I Wouldn't Cry)
And I can't hear myself dream 
(If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)
And I can't let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can't feel myself crying

And I can't hear myself scream
 (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry)
And I can't hear myself dream 
(If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)
And I can't hear myself scream 
(If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn't Cry)
And I can't hear myself dream
 (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn't Die)

this song is amazing. he's saying if he never met this gal, he'd never love her. and loving her made his life a living hell pretty much, because he can't get over her.

i'm in this situation now. maybe it'll relate to you guys more than the lyrics. i met this guy through my friends, and it was pretty much love at first sight. we went out, and then he broke up with me. i cried and crieddddd. ever since then i've been in love with him and i'm not able to get over him and every time i see him i die inside.

This song's about Jake when he was younger. He said that he'd walk a girl home, give her a flower (or something like that), then write a song, but in the end none of them were ever interested in him. But he has also said when talking about the meaning of this song that he said that he doesn't know, he just made the song up. The first meaning I mentioned is more probable, since I did hear Jake was a bit of a loser back in the day (no offence).
