Too
late to drop the facade
It's
too heavy and built up now
Can't
knock it down
No
matter how I try
Too
many people asking questions
Need
the wall to hide behind anyway
So,
I'll keep it there as a safety net
An
android me, as a safety net
The
clowns are there to catch e
But I
can't trust them
And
the ringmaster cracks the whip
I run
around and do my tricks
Pleasing
everyone but me
In my
dressing room I become me
Keep
the door locked shut so no one can see
So,
I'll keep it there as a safety net
An
android me, as a safety net
The
clowns are there to catch e
But I
can't trust them
Put
in my sequins walk the rope again
The
people cheer and clap
They're
proud of me
But
they don't know me behind the makeup
Anyone
who does I thank you
Thank
you for putting up with me
Thank
you for helping me when I am weak
I
love that you really know me
But I
can't love me
'Cos
I'm a fake
So,
I'll keep it there as a safety net
An
android me, as a safety net
The
clowns are there to catch e
But I
can't trust them
When
the sequins fade and the makeup rubs off
I am
just a little girl lost
I've
hardly got anyone to trust
And I
can't take the real me
Ans I
can't face the real me
Need
the wall to hide behind anyway
So,
I'll keep it there as a safety net
An
android me, as a safety net
The
clowns are there to catch e
But I
can't trust them
Thank
you for putting up with me
Thank
you for helping me when I am weak
I
love that you really know me
But I
can't love me
'Cos
I'm a fake
