lyrics

Pieces, picking up the pieces, broken by the story, I was trying to tell.
Should have minded my own business,
knowing you would not buy what I had to sell.

If this was my one chance, then this will be my last dance,
I will not be leaving buried in the sand.
You did not believe me, but as I go you will see,
some amount of victory held in my hand.

I’ve given it all away, guardian, guardian.
Not in my own way, guardian, guardian.
There’s nothing left to take, guardian, guardian.
I gave it all away, guardian, guardian.

Circus, should have left the circus, that I had created all by accident.
Should have never started speaking,
knowing you would not take things as they were meant.
