Last night you rolled into town
And you asked me to go one more round
And I want to, but I know
That I'm just your side show
And the big top it always comes down
It's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's only a fool to take up with some clown
On a tight rope in a tight dress
But it all seems worthless
Just like the circus you always leave town
You say what I wanna hear
Then you always disappear
You're the ring leader
But there's no ring on my finger
You're nothing but smoke and mirrors
So it's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's only a fool to take up with some clown
On a tight rope in a tight dress
But it all seems worthless
'Cause just like the circus
You always leave town
I'm gonna take off this tight dress
And learn how to hurt less
'Cause just like the circus
You always leave town
