carnival candy (a tale retold) Lyrics

Your flowers died on the carousel in the rain

You left your house but you never got onto the train

The carnival candy's expired

I was waiting for love, I'm so tired

Wake up

I have been sleeping for 8 months

Haven't been living can't move on

Knowing this love ain't true

The things you said

Was it true or just an act cause you're a clown

Who puts intrusive thoughts,

My head goes round, merry go round

Bones you'd break

I was healing but you set me up to fall

You couldn't choose between us both, it broke

And i'm not gonna free fall back into your smoke

The butterflies, oh I wonder if that's what you blame

When it feels like you're falling in love, but it's only causing you pain

Oh all the carnival candy

Guess the love was just in my fantasy

Grow up

You loved her so much, but its over

She was your whole life but you're older

Learn how to wake up and move on and move out

The things you said

Was it true or just an act cause you're a clown

Who puts intrusive thoughts

My head goes round, merry go round

Bones you'd break

I was healing but you set me up to fall

You couldn't choose between us both, it broke

And I'm not gonna free fall back into your smoke

Holding on for life, on a rollercoaster ride

Guess it didn't even matter, all the tears you never cried

Hanging onto hope, guess I simply couldn't cope

Knowing that you'd leave without me cause forever's just a lie

Letting me go, shouldn't be that easy for you

The things you said

Was it true or just an act cause you're a clown

Who puts intrusive thoughts

My head goes round

Merry go round

The lies you'd spread

Guess it shows how much you burnt down to the ground

You dumped me in cold water, made me drown

Come back around

It's hard to shake

When your poison's far too deadly for the crowd

All the things you did, I hope you're proud

For one day, the carnival candy will take you down
