I did everything right
How reassuring was I?
When you asked me if I meant it
I told you that I dreamt it into my life
But all of my light
Got swept under the mattress
I made friends up in the attic
In the back of the cupboard
That you barely remember
Next to your favorite sweater
But you found something better
So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
'Cause nobody is better at the circus
Just watch me, I will run in circles
Trying to be someone you'd love
Honey, I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
Ah, one of your rag dolls
Oh
Pick me off of the shelf
Dust me off with your mouth
Let me play with all the jewels
And crown myself the fool for falling back in
Believing again
In your empty words of romance
I found myself a slow dance
In the back of the cupboard
That you barely remember
Next to your favorite sweater
But you found something better
So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
'Cause nobody is better at the circus
Just watch me, I will run in circles
Trying to be someone you'd love
Honey, I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
Ah, one of your rag dolls
Oh
Medicine is never enough
To cure when you've fallen in love
Just look at what I've become
A floating piece of paper
Just begging for a stapler
So leave it to me
To smile as I fall
'Cause nobody is better at the circus
Just watch me, I will run in circles
Trying to be someone you'd love
Honey, I will change my colors to nothing
As long as I can be one of your rag dolls
Ah, one of your rag dolls
Oh
