Spotlight glaring down
Silence from the crowd
The circus is just beginning
I tremble, looking around
I would hate to fall and hit the ground
In front of all these people
That wouldn't be pleasant
So the music plays
And the trapeze sways
And my heart is beating faster
But all I hear is laughter
From the crowd
Cause they see right through my gaze

Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me
There is someone who loves you for you

I keep lying to myself
Trying to be somebody else
In front of all these people
I feel really foolish
And when the main attraction at the masquerade
If I keep goin' like this, I'm gonna go insane
Is this circus act all I'll ever be?
Yeah...

Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me
There is someone who loves you for you

God loves you and me
Let me tell you it's the kind of love that's given free
And it doesn't fake
And it doesn't flake
And it doesn't play those games

God loves me and you
Let me tell you it's the kind of love
It's real, it's true
And it doesn't lie
And it's doesn't cheat
After it takes you off your feet

So just... tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me
Tell me

What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me

Thursday the 19th

Okay so everything was normal...get up, play with the boys, we were supposed to leave at 9:00 to drop Julia off at babysitting and then I would come with mom to bible study at the church to watch Jake. Well Mom forgot that we had to leave at 9 until 9:02, she was still talking with Mrs. Debbie (she was picking up Seth and Noah). So mom was helping Mrs. Debbie by bringing the diaper bag to her car and Julia comes out of the house and shuts the door...without getting the keys to the house and the car!!! So here we are locked out of the house and no way to get Julia to babysitting and mom and I to bible study. We normally have a car key under the car but we lost that when our car got towed that one time...that's a different story, and we also kept a house key on the trailer, but we had lost that one, too. So mom went over to the neighbors house to see if they still had the key from when we were on vacation. No they thought they gave it back. So Julia is standing at the door and prays "God, please help us get this door open." And then she had the idea to kick the door with her foot, and the shut all the way locked door swung right open after the hit it with her knee!!!!! THAT WAS ALL GOD. We dropped Julia off at babysitting and went to church...which was locked and mom had lost her key to the church some time ago. Mrs. Laura usually was there but she wasn't. Mom and I almost went to the locksmith nearby and get an extra house key made and a car key, but we decided she would be back soon. 5 minutes later she pulled in and let us in. Guess where she came from. The locksmith making us a church key!! But she copied it from a copy so it didn't work. I thought that was pretty cool. Everything was uneventful until we were going to leave. Mom asked me if I had the keys. I said, "Why should I have them?" "I thought I asked you to get them out of the library" She said. So I went and looked in the library for the keys and they weren't there. Then mom asked me to go look in the car to see if we locked them in there. I went out and they were in the ignition!!! ARGGG!!! Now what? I thought. Mom called the locksmith to see if he could come down and help us but he wouldn't be able to come help for another 45 minutes, and we didn't bring any school to do! Mom called dad to tell him what was happening, thinking he wouldn't be able to come help us cause he would be a half hour away on a job, but he was only 15 minutes away! So he came and got his key and unlocked the car! We were saved! WOOPIE! Right after that we went and made copies of our keys. In one day we managed to lock ourselves out of the house, church, and car!!
