Carousel

When I was young I found you crying

You said things would be different

But when he left I guess he took a little piece of you

You haven't been the same ever since

Now I know the house is dirty

And the grass is always greener somewhere else

And I know you'll keep on running

Carousel

It keeps you in hell

All this up and down

And all this round and round

Carousel

It keeps you in hell

You know you won't get far

From what you really are

When I grew up I saw you dying

From lonliness and alcohol

When all they offered you was platitudes and promises

I guess you saw the writing on the wall

Now I know the house is dirty

And the grass is always greener somewhere else

And I know you'll keep on running

Carousel

It keeps you in hell

All this up and down

And all this round and round

Carousel

It keeps you in hell

You know you won't get far

From what you really are

There's a resignation on your face

As this merry-go-round spins on and on

There's a million mile stare into space

as this vicious cycle carries you along

In circles somethings wrong

And I hope that you'll get off

Carousel

You're keeping me in hell

All my life you always tried to run and hide

Carousel

I wish you could tell

The hell you put me through so I let go of you
