Motley

Are you happy? Look at what you’ve done Gone and made a motley out of me Like putting on a show Giving all you wanted and needed Just an entertainment to you Tell me are you happy now? You laugh at the bells Tinkering on my head You chuckle as the tears Streak down through My checkered makeup Who do you think you are? Sitting there laughing As my heart is breaking Can’t even say you’re sorry For what you’ve done Who do you think you are now? You build me up Just to tear me down I can start to feel the cold See the great shadow Of the wall that is going up You supplied the brick I’ll supply the mortar Together we will make it unbreakable But I’m done playing the fool I know how I got here But I refuse to stay I exit stage right Run as fast as I can To the other side To the other side I throw off my hat And hear the bells sound When it hits the floor Wipe away the makeup I’ll never wear again Gonna write a new start No more acting No more plays As I bid you good-bye As I bid you good-bye
