lyrics
I ran to see when the circus came to town
Heart doing somersaults over a clown
But the show's over, so take a bow
You’re no stallion, a show-pony off his reigns
And I'm done playin’ these carnival games
I’m tearing it down 'til nothing remains
No common ground for deadbeat love and the truth
I'll raise my glass up high, had enough of you
I'll show this world that I've got nothing to lose tonight
-----
I coulda loved you, kept the feelings left unsaid
But all the music we danced to hid the flags so red
And I won't let you win, not gonna bear your sins
Baby you're no longer takin' from me (Calling out mayday)
Your kiss was poison, a touch to turn my lips to blue
You had me losing my voice wasting my words on you
Livin' on 80 proof to mend a heart's for fools
So just pick up on the signal, honey (Gonna call mayday)
-----
I am the queen of seduction, succubi
To taste flesh willing, my alibi
And baby boy you never satisfied
Now we're here and the line's drawn in the sand
And I'll make sure that you understand
You crossed the wrong bitch in this province of the damned
No common ground for love or hate, just the truth
So raise your glasses up if you've had enough too
We'll show the frauds that we've all got something to prove tonight
-----
I coulda loved you, kept the feelings left unsaid
But all the music we danced to hid the flags so red
And I won't let you win, not gonna bear your sins
Baby you're no longer takin' from me (Calling out mayday)
Your kiss was poison, a touch to turn my lips to blue
You had me losing my voice wasting my words on you
Livin' on 80 proof to mend a heart's for fools
So just pick up on the signal, honey (Gonna call mayday)
-----
But If I made that call, bet you wouldn’t even hear it
(They'll never know, never know what it's like alone)
Got so tired of begging for your attention that I had to steal it
(Breaking rules and all the boundaries that I've outgrown)
I feel my mind is spiraling and it's so damn tiring (Spiraling, tiring)
But every day that I get through, I know I'll get better (It gets better)
And you can sit your sorry ass down and watch me claim my crown
-----
I coulda loved you, kept the feelings left unsaid
But all the music we danced to hid the flags so red
And I won't let you win, not gonna bear your sins
Baby you're no longer takin' from me (Calling out mayday)
Your kiss was poison, a touch to turn my lips to blue
You had me losing my voice wasting my words on you
Livin' on 80 proof to mend a heart's for fools
So just pick up on the signal, honey (Gonna call mayday)
