lyrics

So here it comes, the final show
The crowd comes out to watch us fall apart
As I remember how I used to know you better.
The circus days, the showtime nights
The bitter lows and sparkling heights of us
Still I remember how I used to know you better.

You make me feel like a clown on a tightrope
You make me feel like a mime when my heart is broke
I've got to find a way out of your big top world.

The illusion is dead, the magic is gone
This house of cards, you used to call me home
Do you remember how you used to know me better?
So paint on your smile, juggle your lies,
You're leaving this circus far behind,
You found the Joker From Hell to mess with your mind.

But still you make me feel like a clown on a tightrope
You make me feel like a mime when my heart is broke
I've got to find a way out of your big top world.

It's a little too late for that now, just a little too late for that now,
This show is over, there's no encore this time around.
It's a little too late for that now, just a little too late for that now,
Gone are the days when I was nothing but your circus clown.

You made me feel like a clown on a tightrope.
You made me feel like a mime when my heart was broke.
And now it feels like you sabotaged me,
Got what you wanted then kicked me where it hurts.
And now you've kicked me right out of your big top world.

You made me feel like a clown on a tightrope, so utterly worthless.
