Circus
How do you do this to me?
All these years
Ditched me in my weakest hour
To face greatest fears
Let me make simple
Easy to understand
Swear this is the last time
I will allow you to have the upper hand
Me and damaged self-esteem
Fare just fine on my own
Better off without you
Even if staying forever alone
Never did I expect treason
Betrayal comes as a surprise
Stupidity is to blame for that
Consistently fed me lies
Fall apart in absence
Your touch is just as bad
Although it heals me
Behavior drives me mad
Think you come back around
Waste your time on me
Finally caught on to your ****** up games
It took so long to see
You say you are truly different now
Like a hundred times before
For some reason reality's clicked
I don't believe you anymore
Something you never admit
Could change if you wanted to
Sadly you enjoy the circus you live
Growing up is the one thing you'll never do
