Lead Me On

[Verse 1]
Step inside the carnival, dear audience I play the fool
And I know, yes I know, I'm an opening act
Am I Someone you hold on to?
Whilst you look for someone new
And I know, yes I know, I'm your opening act

[Chorus]
See you can lead me on, but when you let me down
Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing
When you lead me on, if it stops my heart
Let it hum, one last final song

[Verse 2]
Step inside the carnival, it's here I stand, a hopeless fool
And I know, yes I know, that you're leading me on
We danced around the questions you are holding out the answers to
And I know, yes I know, I'm your opening act

[Chorus]
See you can lead me on, but when you let me down
Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing
When you lead me on, if it stops my heart
Let it hum, one last final song

{Verse 3]
Fallin' in and out, too many times to count
I still hold myself, with every heartache felt
I fall in and out, of consciousness and doubt
Try to protect myself, for when you let me down

[Chorus]
See you can lead me on, but when you let me down
Make me numb, so I can't feel a thing
When you lead me on, if it stops my heart
Let it hum, one last final song
