When This Story Ends

It’s so enchanting
I’m trapped and drowning
Here for everyone to see
They don’t notice
How far away I am
From everyone and everything

Silly to have gambled with my heart out on the line
I guess that’s just the way it goes
But I’m holding on
I know a day will come when I can be myself again
And I hope someone will love me
When this story ends

‘Round in circles
Pointless wandering
And the crowd lines up again
Give a smile, girl!
You make them happy
Bring your parents, bring a friend

Silly that a main attraction would long so much for love
I guess that’s just the way it goes
But I’m holding on
I know a day will come when I can be myself again
And I hope someone will love me
When this story ends

If someone could
Someone right for me
Finds a way to take me home again
I believe it
One day, I’ll be home

Still I’m searching
‘Round in circles
While the crowd lines up again
