[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] But when thoughts wander 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
[Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] But when thoughts wander 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 But when thoughts wander 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, what's going on with me
