A painted face can only hide some things
If you look you can still see it begin
From out in space it seems so pure
You’d never know how much they endure to be
Alive and living through it all
Seems every step is almost a fall
And it takes all you have to make it
And at some point we all break it
[Chorus]
Tears…falling
Hearts…breaking
A thousand voices crying out
A symphony for sad clowns
The tricks can only get you so far
You fool the world but don’t know who you are
And inside somewhere it’s still you
But trust is hard after all you’ve been through
[Chorus]
Tears…falling
Hearts…breaking
A thousand voices crying out
A symphony for sad clowns
[Bridge]
So what if you could be someone else
A penny in a wishing well
And you could wish your whole life away
But in the end you still have to pay
[Chorus]
Tears…falling
Hearts…breaking
A thousand voices crying out
A symphony for sad clowns
