Circus Heart Pt. 2

You lock the house

You slam the door

You do it so hard your fingers are sore

I've seen you act

This way before

Just once before

You know, you're right

Turn out the lights

Maybe we can make it through the night

I hold my tongue

I pay the price

It's a sacrifice

But 1, 2, 3, we're family

Like an apple falling from a tree

And if you cry

Then i can't sleep

And i won't rest until you're lying next to me

I have to say, i used to feel a lot like you

Not long ago

You went to school

You were so young

Don't forget where it is you came from

I used to worry that i'd never be someone

Not long ago

You learned the rules

You learned them twice

No one got somewhere by being nice

You did your best

To get in fights

When you wanted more

But 1, 2, 3, we're family

Like an apple falling softly from that godforsaken tree

And if you cry

Then i can't sleep

And i won't rest until you're lying next to me

I have to say, i used to feel a lot like you

Not long ago
