Lyrics

The torch is steady in my hand
White hot fire burning low
I know the part I'm playing now
It's one I'll never show
Some loves live in the open
Some loves stay out of sight
And I have learned the difference
Standing here tonight
I've danced above the sawdust
On the wire in silver light
Hung from ribbons in the rafters
Spinning slowly through the night
I've learned every kind of danger
Every trick beneath the lights
But no act has ever changed
Where you sleep every night
The crowd believes in miracles
They clap for every feat
But there's someone in this circus
No performance ever beats
Watch the fire eater
Smile into the flame
Swallow every burning truth
And never say your name
They cheer for my devotion
For the courage that I show
But loving you in secret
Is the bravest act I know
Watch the fire eater
Hold the blaze inside
If the circus must keep turning
Then I'll be where truth can hide
You enter through the canvas
And the noise begins to thin
The acrobats go quiet
And the band pulls softly in
And somewhere past the curtain
Where the lanterns don't burn low
Is the woman that the circus
Will always let you show
I finally see the balance
The way the story goes
Some loves live in the spotlight
Some just stay in smoke
Watch the fire eater
Smile into the flame
Swallow every burning truth
And never say your name
They cheer for my devotion
For the courage that I show
But loving you in secret
Is the bravest act I know
They think it's just performance
A trick beneath the tent
But they don't see the smoke inside
And My lungs are filled with it
One spark could split the canvas
One whisper could break the spell
But I would never burn the world
That I still love too well
So I drink the quiet wildfire
The burn that doesn't miss
One girl gets the center ring
And I get you like this
