When This Story Ends

It's so enchanting
I'm trapped and drowning
Here for everyone to see
They don't notice
How far away I am
From everyone and everything
Silly to have gambled with my heart out on the line
I guess that's just the way it goes
But I'm holding on
I know a day will come when I can be myself again
And I hope someone will love me
When this story ends
Round in circles, pointless wandering
And the crowd lines up again.

"Give a smile, girl!
You make them happy "
"Bring your parents, bring a friend "
Silly that main attraction would long so much for love
I guess that's just the way it goes
But I'm holding on
I know a day will come when I can be myself again
And I hope someone will love me
When this story ends
If someone could, someone right for me
Finds a way to take me home again
I believe it
One day I'll be home
Still I'm searching
Round in circles
But the crowd lines up again.
