[In September of 2010, we moved mom in with us. She needed attention and round the clock care
We had no idea what we were in for!]

What was I thinking? What have I done?
Feel like I'm staring down the barrel of a gun
I saw it coming, I should have run
What was I thinking when I said I'd be the one?

Stop fooling around, stop saying that everything's OK
There's no one around, so stop playing the clown
'Cause when the circus blows this town
It'll be me who cleans the cages, it'll be me who breaks the stages down

What was I thinking? What have I done?
Trying to be every single thing to everyone
You're in the corner, I'm on the run
What was I thinking, when I said I'd be the one?

Stop fooling around, stop saying that everything's OK
There's no one around, so stop playing the clown

'Cause when the circus blows this town
It'll be me who cleans the cages, it'll be me who breaks the stages

It'll be me who talks you down, it'll be me who sticks around
It'll be me who picks the pieces off the ground
It'll be me

Stop fooling around, stop saying that everything's OK
There's no one around, so stop playing the clown
'Cause when the circus blows this town
It'll be me who cleans the cages, it'll be me who breaks the stages

Stop fooling around, stop saying that everything's OK
There's no one around, so stop playing the clown
'Cause when the circus blows this town
It'll be me who cleans the cages, it'll be me who breaks the stages
It'll be me who who talks you down
It'll be me
