"The Comedy Is Over" Lyrics

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
