Behind the laughter
Is a tortured soul
With waterproof eyes
So the tears don't flow
A victim of moods
Swinging out of control

Fighting the fears
Laughing and joking
Under the smile
The turmoil is choking
They've no idea
I'm not coping at all

Every time you see me
My happiness is fleeting
Keep the tears locked inside
My eyes are watertight
Every day I'm grinning
But the demons are still winning
Every fear I will hide
Cause clowns can only cry on the inside

Lost and I'm blind
Can't a find a way out
My choices are all
Frozen by my doubt
All that I needed
Was the sound of your heart
Out of the shadows
In my darkest night
I see your face
Your smile is my sunlight
Just knowing you're there
Makes it all alright

Every time you see me
My happiness is fleeting
Keep the tears locked inside
My eyes are watertight
Every day I'm grinning
But the darkness is still winning
Every fear I will hide
Cause clowns can only cry on the inside

Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooooooh

Every time you see me
My happiness is fleeting
Keep the tears locked inside
My eyes are watertight
Every day I'm grinning
But the darkness is still winning
Every fear I will hide
Cause clowns can only cry on the inside
