I tried hard to reach you I tried hard to understand Where I was going wrong I tried too hard All the days I made you laugh I thought I was halfways there Now it seems that halfways Is nowhere The curtains are down I will no longer be seen To be playing the clown A smile is a frown Upside down And now I've learned that laughter Will never be enough To bring happiness you need To be selfless Which is one thing That you can never be Look how you used me to Make you happy The curtains are down I will no longer be seen To be playing the clown A smile is a frown Upside down And, this clown doesn't feel like joking This clown isn't very funny This clown will have one last laugh The curtains are down I will no longer be seen To be playing the clown A smile is a frown I'm not playing the clown This smile's not a frown Upside down
