[Verse 1]
Yesterday, I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
And now I'm down
I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce

[Chorus]
'Cause when you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No New Year's Day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade

[Verse 2]
Your mama called, she said
That you're downstairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah, I hear ya
In the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summer-time dress?

[Bridge]
I know we all
We all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults
And we stay
[Chorus]
When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No New Year's Day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade

[Outro]
Yesterday, I got lost in the circus
