"Circus"

Here we are

What is left of a husband and a wife

With four good kids

Who have a way of getting on with their lives

And I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older everyday

It's too late to keep from going crazy

I've got to get away

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

Our boys are strong now

The spitting image of you when you were young

I hope someday they can see past what you have become

And I remember every time I said I'd never leave

But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

20 years have came and went since I walked out of your door

I never quite made it back to the one I was before

And God, it hurts me to think of you, 'fore the light in your eyes was gone

And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love

And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
