🎵 HEART'S A TRAGIC CALLIOPE

HEART'S A TRAGIC CALLIOPE

Saundo

[Intro

Round and round...

The music plays...

Smile for the crowd...

While my heart decays...

Verse 1

You painted gold across my sky,

Then left me underneath the rain,

I learned to laugh with broken eyes,

And dance along with all the pain.

Every promise was a ticket,

Every kiss another show,

I kept buying into forever,

But forever let me go.

Pre-Chorus

And the lights go down,

But the music won't stop,

I'm spinning on this carousel

That I can't get off...

Chorus

My heart's a tragic calliope,

Playing songs nobody knows,

Round and round the melody goes,

While every piece of us explodes.

You were the light beneath the smoke,

The sweetest lie my heart ever wrote,

Now every note cuts like a knife—

My tragic calliope is still alive.

Verse 2

Red balloons above the ceiling,

Black shadows underneath,

I can hear your voice still calling,

But you're nowhere next to me.

The carnival keeps turning,

Though the crowd has disappeared,

And every little melody

Sounds like everything I feared.

Bridge – stripped down

Round... round... round...

Don't wake me from the dream.

Round... round... round...

Nothing's ever what it seems.

Final Chorus

My heart's a tragic calliope,

Screaming through the midnight glow,

Every broken note reminds me

Of a love I couldn't let go.

You were the fire, you were the smoke,

You were the dream that finally broke,

But even when the last lights die—

My tragic calliope...

Still plays inside.

Outro

Round and round...

The music plays...

Smile for the crowd...

While my heart decays...
