Carousel

[Verse 1]
Did you realize something or was it just a dream
I still can't accept that you never loved me
Your actions take lessons from what I've already seen
Can I still call you my love if I don't wipe the slate clean?

[Chorus]
Your watchful gaze so torturous
You got it wrong, I don't yearn for lust
'Cause I've been told, baby, more than once
To let you go
But I'm still locked in this prison cell
Of a famished mind, not far from hell
Below the grave I ring a bell
To make it known I'm riding on your carousel

[Post-Chorus]
On your carousel
I need to get off of your carousel

[Verse 2]
None of you know what I've put myself through
Why do none of you feel the same way that I do?
I'm honestly begging, you give me someone soon
Or I'm scared I might, force you to the moon

[Chorus]
Your watchful gaze so torturous
You got it wrong, I don't yearn for lust
'Cause I've been told, baby, more than once
To let you go
But I'm still locked in this prison cell
Of a famished mind, not far from hell
Below the grave I ring a bell
To make it known I'm riding on your carousel

[Post-Chorus]
On your carousel
I need to get off of your carousel

[Bridge]
I'm blaming all my faults on
People that don't even know me
Through and through I still love you
And I'm asking for your pity
I can't forgive myself for trying to start anew
But to this day I find that I'd
Rather kiss a bullet than kiss you

[Chorus]
Your watchful gaze so torturous
You got it wrong, I don't yearn for lust
'Cause I've been told, baby, more than once
To let you go
But I'm still locked in this prison cell
Of a famished mind, not far from hell
Below the grave I ring a bell
To make it known I'm riding on your carousel

[Post-Chorus]
On your carousel
I need to get off of your carousel
