Lead Me on

Step inside the carnival, dear audience, I play the fool And I know, yes I know, I'm an opening act Am I someone you hold on to? Whilst you look for someone new And I know, yes I know, I'm your opening act See you can lead me on, but when you let me down Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing When you lead me on, if it stops my heart Let it hum, one last final song Step inside the carnival, it's here I stand, a hopeless fool And I know, yes I know, that you're leading me on We danced around the questions you are holding out the answers to And I know, yes I know, I'm your opening act See you can lead me on, but when you let me down Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing When you lead me on, if it stops my heart Let it hum, one last final song Fallin' in and out, too many times to count I still hold myself, with every heartache felt I fall in and out, of consciousness and doubt Try to protect myself, for when you let me down See you can lead me on, but when you let me down Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing When you lead me on, if it stops my heart Let it hum, one last final song
