Just Like the Circus
Love's Illusion: A Tale of Departing Promises
Lyrics
Last night you rolled into town
Last night, you arrived in town
And you asked me to go one more round
You requested another opportunity
And I want to, but I know
Although I desire to, I understand
That I'm just your side show
I'm only an attraction on the side for you
And the big top it always comes down
The main event always ends
It's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's time for me to realize and remove this facade
It's only a fool to take up with some clown
It's foolish to engage with someone like you
On a tight rope in a tight dress
Metaphorically balancing precariously
But it all seems worthless
All of this seems without value
Just like the circus you always leave town
Similar to the circus, you always depart
You say what I wanna hear
You speak what I wish to hear
Then you always disappear
Then you consistently vanish
You're the ring leader
You're the leader, but there's no commitment
But there's no ring on my finger
There's no formal attachment or commitment
You're nothing but smoke and mirrors
You're nothing but an illusion
So it's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's time for me to realize and remove this facade
It's only a fool to take up with some clown
It's foolish to engage with someone like you
On a tight rope in a tight dress
Metaphorically balancing precariously
But it all seems worthless
All of this seems without value
'Cause just like the circus
Because, like the circus, you always leave
You always leave town
Town or the situation
I'm gonna take off this tight dress
I will remove this facade and lessen my pain
And learn how to hurt less
I'll learn to feel less hurt
'Cause just like the circus
Because, like the circus, you always leave
You always leave town
Town or the situation
