CIRCUS Lyrics by Kalliope

FATALITY!

0

[Verse 1]
Did I do something wrong?
You seem disappointed
Maybe I’m not who you thought I would be
What have I become?
Maybe everything’s pointless
Maybe i'm just overthinking what I see

[Pre Chorus]
And i'm kinda sorry
I wasn't all I was cracked up to be, oh yeah
I’m kinda sorry
I know you wanted more from me
But you gotta know

[Chorus]
That this is the way I am, yeah this is only me
And if you wanted something else, then you can always leave
But i'm not gonna change myself, not jumping through the hoops
I'm not tryna play inside your circus, oh no no no

[Verse 2]
I kinda liked it, back in the start
When we would both act like people we were not
You kinda liked it too, was willing to cross the line
But when you showed yourself well that was enough

[Pre Chorus]
And I'm kinda sorry
I couldn't be the one to save you, oh yeah
I'm kinda sorry
But it's not my job to like you
And you gotta know

[Chorus]
That this is the way I am, yeah this is only me
And if you wanted something else, then you can always leave
But i'm not gonna change myself, not jumping through the hoops
I'm not tryna play inside your circus, oh no no
This is the way I am, yeah this is what I do
And if you do not vibe with it, then I’ll just cut you loose
But I'm not gonna fit myself into the mold you made
I'm not tryna play inside your circus, oh no no no

[Bridge]
If you wanted the lions and the elephants, the trapeze and the balancing
If you wanted the tricks and the juggling, the wheels and the trampolines
If you wanted the lions and the acrobats, the show when it’s in town
Well, I'm no good at that but maybe you can play the clown

[Chorus]
That this is the way I am, yeah this is only me
And if you wanted something else, then you can always leave
But i'm not gonna change myself, not jumping through the hoops
I'm not tryna play inside your circus, oh no no
This is the way I am, yeah this is what I do
And if you do not vibe with it, then I’ll just cut you loose
But I'm not gonna fit myself into the mold you made
I'm not tryna play inside your circus, oh no no no
