[Verse 1] In the wake of love and hate, you've left me here Alone to face the labyrinth of life, so stark and bare Cigarettes and broken photographs, they're all I have to hold A ghost of you in every corner, a haunting that's grown cold [Chorus] Life's turned to a carnival, a twisted tale of woe Without you, it's all a show, a dance I can't let go In this maze of memories, I'm lost and can't find my way Through the smoke and mirrors, I pray for a break of day [Verse 2] The echoes of your laughter, they haunt these empty rooms The silence is deafening, a symphony of gloom I try to piece together, the fragments of our past But every memory's a puzzle, that I can't seem to cast [Chorus] Life's turned to a carnival, a twisted tale of woe Without you, it's all a show, a dance I can't let go In this maze of memories, I'm lost and can't find my way Through the smoke and mirrors, I pray for a break of day [Bridge] The carousel of sorrow spins, as tears begin to fall Each drop a reminder, of the love that was lost, after all I'm caught in this carousel, with no way to break free From the chains of our love, that bind me endlessly [Chorus] Life's turned to a carnival, a twisted tale of woe Without you, it's all a show, a dance I can't let go In this maze of memories, I'm lost and can't find my way Through the smoke and mirrors, I pray for a break of day [Outro] As the final curtain falls, on this tragic play I'm left with the echoes, of a love that's gone astray [End]
