Circus

One day we went to the fairground

And got on this Merry Go ‘Round

Four years later, I said “I’m getting down”

You said “How could you abandon me now?”

I finally realized I was losing my voice

Screaming on the ride I got on by choice

I’m getting tired of this broken record

Hesitated getting off when it was my turn

‘Cause I was scared of letting you down

But I was just becoming your clown

I’m tired of the circus

I’m tired of playing these games

I know I let you down

I guess it’s safe to say I’ve changed

I never thought I’d be the girl at the freak show, juggling flames

But now the circus is on fire

And I hope it never rains

I’m glad I experienced the Merry Go ‘Round

But it’s time I find who I am now

I hid behind a partying clown

I just wanted to fit in and not stand out

So I played a part in this broken record

But the cycle ends here, so no one else gets hurt

It’s my life

My choices

I found the power that my voice has

I’m tired of the circus

I’m tired of playing these games

I know I let you down

I guess it’s safe to say I’ve changed

I never thought I’d be the girl at the freak show, juggling flames

But now the circus is on fire

And I hope it never rains

Thank you for the tickets

Well, it started off nice

But I got sucked in

Now I’m terrified

I want to get out

Can’t stay here for life

I’m running for the exit, stepping off this ride

I’m not a clown in your circus

I’m not playing these games

You say I let you down, I say give me the freedom to change

I never thought I’d be the girl at the freak show, juggling flames

But now the circus is on fire

And I hope it never rains
