It's getting harder and harder to bear You've got me acting like a clown in a collar You got me spending all the time I can spare You got me wasting every dime, every dollar When I stumble and fall Does it hurt you at all? Will it twist like a knife For the rest of your life? You think that love's a joke But there ain't too much to laugh at And it's all for show Should I keep my ticket after Or should I just go? When you're begging for attention Once the crowd goes home And there's no one left to listen Tah Dah! You've got me jumping through a circle of fire You've got me juggling everything that I care for In your world is like a cage with a tiger It's what all the cuts and the bruises are there for When I stumble and fall Does it hurt you at all? Will it twist like a knife For the rest of your life? You think that love's a joke But there ain't too much to laugh at And it's all for show Should I keep my ticket after Or should I just go? When you're begging for attention Once the crowd goes home And there's no one left to listen I've got the freedom to love I've got the freedom to live Well now enough is enough I'm not a trick up your sleeve I'm not a part of your show Can't make me pop up and go One day your curtain will close I've got to let you know [x3] You think that love's a joke But there ain't too much to laugh at And it's all for show Should I keep my ticket after Or should I just go? When you're begging for attention Once the crowd goes home And there's no one left to listen Tah Dah!
