The Comedy Is Over

I tried hard to reach you

I tried hard to understand

Where I was going wrong

I tried too hard

All the days I made you laugh

I thought I was halfways there

Now it seems that halfways

Is nowhere

The comedy is over

The curtains are down

I will no longer be seen

To be playing the clown

A smile is a frown

Upside down

And now I've learned that laughter

Will never be enough

To bring happiness you need

To be selfless

Which is one thing

That you can never be

Look how you used me to

Make you happy

The comedy is over

The curtains are down

I will no longer be seen

To be playing the clown

A smile is a frown

Upside down

And, this clown doesn't feel like joking

This clown isn't very funny

This clown will have one last laugh

The comedy is over

The curtains are down

I will no longer be seen

To be playing the clown

A smile is a frown

I'm not playing the clown

This smile's not a frown

Upside down
