When the curtains close
The dimmed light makes it harder
To sit next to each other
'Cause there ain't nothing left of tenderness
When the curtains close
His mind is with the bottle
But he knows that it won't solve
All his problems and his bitterness
But when thoughts wonder off again
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you
So that every time you feel
And every time you see
And every time you hear
You think what's happening to me
When the curtains close
While he is walking offstage
His fake smile is replaced
By all tears that he can't hold inside
Just like a clown without his fake nose
Afraid that it might show
How the insecurity grows
Now there's only pain that will remain
But when thoughts wonder of again
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you
So that every time you feel
And every time you see
And every time you hear
You think what's happening to me
But when thoughts wonder of again
There's that inner dark side, getting darker, it's taking over you
So that every time you feel
And every time you see
And every time you hear
You think what's happening, what's going on with me
