Circus
If my words are bigger than I am,
please say so.
You're allowed to.
If I arrogantly say I don't lie,
please test me.
Love me.
No matter how many plates detonate on our wall,
we put them back together again.
Because if we're not honest, then who?
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
The truth will take away
the fear that hurts them.
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
To live that way would be crazy.
Should I become that way,
then bring me back
If your words sometimes hurt,
I'm not injured and then they heal me
I know that.
Because we both want the same happiness
on the way to the truth.
Only it remains and nothing behind.
No matter how many plates detonate on our wall,
we put them back together again.
Because if we're not honest, then who?
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
The truth will take away
the fear that hurts them.
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
To live that way would be crazy.
Should I become that way,
then bring me back
No matter how many plates detonate on our wall,
we put them back together again.
Because if we're not honest, then who?
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
The truth will take away
the fear that hurts them.
Just promise me that somehow
we won't be like them.
To live that way would be crazy.
Should I become that way,
then bring me back.

I tried to keep all of the original imagery that is used in the song. The translation isn't perfect, but I want to get this one out there so that someone can improve on it.
The song is really great and her voice is amazing. I interpret it to be about the importance of being honest, even at the price of temporarily hurt feelings. Makes sense.
