If You Can’t Ride Two Horses at Once… You Should Get Out of the Circus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes! I can't breathe!
I feel I failed! I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine! To make you shine!
[Verse 2]
They said this could never happen!
They said we could never be!
Are you telling me you listened?
[Chorus]
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
[Bridge]
So, there's no you and me? And we can't live this way forever?
(Forever, you said you'd run away)
You said you'd run away, you said you'd run away with me
(With me, you'd run away)
[Breakdown]
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that tied us down!
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes! I can't breathe!
I feel I failed! I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine! To make you shine!
[Verse 2]
They said this could never happen!
They said we could never be!
Are you telling me you listened?
[Chorus]
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
[Bridge]
So, there's no you and me? And we can't live this way forever?
(Forever, you said you'd run away)
You said you'd run away, you said you'd run away with me
(With me, you'd run away)
[Breakdown]
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that tied us down!
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart!
