The time that you came and the day that you left
Could have had a chance
Could have had a chance
Never thought I could make it this far
With a pain in my soul and a hole in my heart
Never thought I could
Never thought I could
[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town
Left your name carved on a tree
Scratched mine out right in front of me
Didn't mean that much
Didn't mean that much
[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town
Scratch your name out on that tree
Chase your heart right out of me
Doesn't mean that much
Doesn't mean that much
[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town
Could have had a chance to get out of this mess The time that you came and the day that you left Could have had a chance Could have had a chance Never thought I could make it this far With a pain in my soul and a hole in my heart Never thought I could Never thought I could [Chorus:] But when the lights are turning 'round And wheels are rolling on the ground That day I'll burn this whole place down When the circus comes to town Left your name carved on a tree Scratched mine out right in front of me Didn't mean that much Didn't mean that much [Chorus:] But when the lights are turning 'round And wheels are rolling on the ground That day I'll burn this whole place down When the circus comes to town Scratch your name out on that tree Chase your heart right out of me Doesn't mean that much Doesn't mean that much [Chorus:] But when the lights are turning 'round And wheels are rolling on the ground That day I'll burn this whole place down When the circus comes to town Explain Request ×
