i look in the mirror and see a clown smiling through the tears Lyrics

(Go ahead and laugh at my pain, I'm just a clown in your eyes, and I'm

Starting to look like one in mine)

Go ahead and laugh at my pain, I'm just a clown in your eyes, and I'm

Starting to look like one in mine

And that's the cold, hard truth

Never thought that it would be you

Never thought this would be something you'd do

You made me believe it was true,

and then you threw it all away

I don't wanna see another day

I don't wanna hear my mother say

I told you she was no good, boy you should listen more

She was right 'cause even now that you're gone you're still a chore

Slam my door

One more time

I know when you get bored you'll still hit my line

I'll waste away until you decide

Or change your mind

But if you don't I'mma still be the same man that I am

Stay on my feet 'cause nothing can knock me down,

You're the only thing I can't stand

You were the only one I'd give a chance

The only one I'd let take my hand

Now I can see that I'm not in your plans

No matter what I do, I'll never advance

It feels like I only go backwards

Every part of me says go ahead

But I feel so misled

You say you don't wanna see me but always end up in my bed

And stuck in my head

Going through life every day like I haven't been taking my meds

but I'm mad at the world

I'm not mad at you, girl

I could give you the world if you'd just be my girl

But you'd rather leave me out here in the rain

And you'd rather watch me go insane

(Go ahead and laugh at my pain, I'm just a clown in your eyes, and I'm

Starting to look like one in mine)

Go ahead and laugh at my pain, I'm just a clown in your eyes, and I'm

Starting to look like one in mine

And go ahead and play your game

While I try to forget your name

And forget mine, too

I'll never understand why you do what you do
