Standard (EADGBE)

Circus of silence down at our feet

 Paper cut tigers starting to bleed

Hang from your tightrope above the mess

 Just say you're sorry, no more no less

 Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do

Show will be over soon

 It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry

I used to believe that the storybook's true

 Now I don't need it, at least not with you

 So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask

 Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back

 Words are no use, you don't need them like I do

Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me

 You're so good at giving me responsibility

I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go

I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

 I want to walk away too

 But I want you to say you are sorry
