I compromised and wiped away the ashes
I felt the lies burn and bore the flame
I want to cry but then why should I?

The men that I want to try to live like
They found them a reason to go on
They felt they might somehow have a purpose

I feel that I'm more, then I say nothing's wrong

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
And I'm thinking for myself and now
I'm not running for you

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
Let the circus run without this clown
I'm not running away

I'm calm inside whenever I can focus
I turn my reflection on and off
I hope I might one day be courageous

I feel that I'm more, then I say nothing's wrong

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
And I'm thinking for myself and now
I'm not running for you

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
Let the circus run without this clown
I'm not running away

And I believe I'm coming
To fight for what I feel
I shouldn't feel alone
At least I know what I believe is real

I feel that I'm whole and I say I'm not running

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
And I'm thinking for myself and now
I'm not running for you

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
Let the circus run without this clown
I'm not running away

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
And I'm thinking for myself and now
I'm not running for you

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
Let the circus run, and run
And run, and run, and run and

Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
Hey lion, hey lion
Hey lion, I can't believe you anyway
