I've got the face of a clown
I smile so no one will see
And while the world laughs along
My heart is crying for you
This painted smile that I wear
Is just a mask I put on
So no one knows how I feel
Because you left me alone
And if you ever come back
You'll see me laugh just the same
For you I'll still be the clown
Who hides the sorrow and pain
A clown who lost your love
With nothing left but a song
That's why I laugh on the outside
While my heart's breaking along
Feel free to adjust rhythm or syllables to match your vocal phrasing!
