The circus came to town
Trashing my name around.
Masked in the trickery of you.
Playing for keeps, win or lose.
The game has just begun
Carrying the burdens of one.
You taught me to stand tall..
Never imagined I would fall.
Falling for your foolish pride
Digging deep through all your lies.
They painted me as a joker
The masked up face of poker.
Can you imagine what happened to us.
Foolish enough, to be loved.
Through all his tricks I pull out a king.
Through all his tricks the answers he may bring.
So I bury these emotions of what I can read on your face.
Blinded by the mistakes you can't erase.
Trickery captures what we had made.
Love, oh how everything just fades.
