Lyrics
Carousel (Demo)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight and staring at her insides
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well, all she's got to do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
(You're too weak to face me)
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
When it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict, and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse, 'cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
(You're too weak to face me)
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you
Just follow me
I never know just why you run
And I'll show you what you want to see
The part you hide from what's inside
Just follow me
So far away, away from me
And I'll show you what you want to see
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
