If only, I was not a clown
You're no good; they say to me
I'll show them that I'm not aroused
But you're no good, if you're not proud
And put your feet back on the ground

I had to find my way around
I held together and made you proud

But tell that to them
Could be the greatest gift...
Or burden

If you bleed and say it's all right;
You scream and tear at your poor eyes
And you say it's all right, even when it's not
And you say it's all right, even when it's not
When it's not, when it's not, even when it's not (etc.)

I'm so lonely
Scared when your around
You're no good for me, I think

'Cuz I'm only a stranger in this town
You're still good if you're not proud
So set your head back in the clouds
I had to fight my way around
I held together, now who's your clown?

Because you bleed and say it's all right
You scream and tear at your poor eyes
And you say it's all right, even when it's not
And you say it's all right, even when it's not
And you say it's so, so I guess it's so

And you bleed and say it's all right
You scream and tear at your poor eyes
And you say it's all right, even when it's not
And you say it's all right, so I guess it's not
'Cuz you say it's so, so I guess it's so
