I'm not in the circus
But I've got a monkey on my back
I didn't do it on purpose
But now everything's gone black
You couldn't save me though you tried
This path for me was written in the stars
The only thing keeping you here is your pride
But one of these days this will all become too large
And you'll finally give up on me
To get back the life that you should be living
You should just give up on me
But you are just much too forgiving
You must be a fool for loving me
You must be blind to keep loving me
Well all of the cards are on the table tonight
And the truth is that loving me just might ruin your life
This vessel is polluted
And it's lost, strayed from the path
Withered and uprooted
If I wasn't crying baby, maybe I'd laugh
You couldn't save me though you tried
This path for me was written in the stars
The only thing keeping you here is your pride
But one of these days this will all become too large
Maybe you should give up on me
To get back the life that you should be living
You should just give up on me
But you are just much too forgiving
You must be a fool for loving me
You must be blind to keep loving me
Well all of the cards are on the table tonight
And the truth is that loving me just might ruin your life
You're so good for me and so good to me
If I could say the same for myself it would be cool
But I've always been the one that's a tragedy
So can't you see, girl, I am only just a selfish fool
You couldn't save me though you tried
This path for me was written in the stars
The only thing keeping you here is your pride
But one of these days this will all become too large
So why don't you give up on me
To get back the life that you should be living?
You should just give up on me
But you are just much too forgiving
You must be a fool for loving me
You must be blind to keep loving me
Well all of the cards are on the table tonight
And the truth is that loving me just might ruin your life
I don't want to ruin your life
While I'm going off of the rails
Baby, you know that I'm right
You can't say I haven't put you through hell...
You must be a fool for loving me
You must be blind to keep loving me
Well all of the cards are on the table tonight
And the truth is that loving me just might ruin your life
