Lyrics

[INTRO]
Behind the curtain, I hide my pain
A smile on my face, but tears in vain
I'm a master of mirth, a king of jest
But deep inside, I'm searching for a love that's real, and I can trust

[Verse1]
You say I'm a clown, a fool in disguise
Painted smile and a bag of tricks
But what you see is just a show, a show I put on
To hide the truth, to hide my heart

[CHORUS]
But I'm a clown with feelings, a clown in love
Hoping you'll see past the makeup and the stuff
I'm a clown who's crying out, for a love that's true
And I wish that you'd see me, and love me too

[Verse2]
I wear a red nose, and a painted face
But when I'm with you, I feel a different pace
I want to take off the mask, and be myself
To show you the real me, and see if you'll love me

[CHORUS]
But I'm a clown with feelings, a clown in love
Hoping you'll see past the makeup and the stuff
I'm a clown who's crying out, for a love that's true
And I wish that you'd see me, and love me too

[HOOK]
Can you see behind the greasepaint and the frown?
Can you love the real me, and not just the clown?

[BRIDGE]
Maybe I'm afraid, to show you the real me
Afraid you'll see the truth, and walk away
But I'd rather take the chance, and be with you
Than stay a clown, forever lonely and blue

[Verse3]
In the spotlight, I'm a star, a comedy king
But in the shadows, I'm just a heart that's singing
A song of love and hope, a melody so true
Hoping you'll hear my heart, and love me too

[CHORUS]
I'm a clown with feelings, a clown in love
Hoping you'll see past the makeup and the stuff
I'm a clown who's crying out, for a love that's true
And I wish that you'd see me, and love me too

[OUTRO]
So I'll take a chance, and show you my heart
And hope that you'll love me, and we'll never be apart
No more hiding behind, the painted smile
Just a love that's real, and a heart that's worthwhile
