Lyrics
Inside the pocket of a clown
Being within the emotional state of someone who entertains others but hides their own sadness
Is a sad place to hang around
It's a melancholic or sorrowful space
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Observing how happiness turns into sadness
Inside the pocket of a clown
Reiterating the sadness within the emotional world of a clown
Inside the heartache of a fool
Within the pain and disappointment of someone who may have been naive in love
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
Experiencing life lessons that aren't typically taught academically
And lessons there can be real cruel
These lessons can be harsh and tough to endure
Inside the heartache of a fool
Reiterating the emotional turmoil of someone who's been hurt in love
Hollow lies, they make a thin disguise
Falsehoods that poorly hide the truth
As little drops of truth fall from your eyes
Truth becomes apparent despite attempts to conceal it
Hollow lies, they make a thin disguise
Repeated emphasis on the inadequacy of lies to cover reality
As little drops of truth fall from your eyes
Reiteration of truth becoming evident despite attempts to disguise it
Inside a memory from the past
Past experiences of lost loves
Lives every love that didn't last
Every failed love resides in these memories
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
How dreams of love can fade quickly within these memories
Inside a memory from the past
Reiterating the melancholic nature of memories associated with lost loves
It's a real sad place to hang around
Emphasizing the sadness of being within the emotional world of a clown
Inside the pocket of a clown
Repetition highlighting the sorrow within the clown's emotional realm
Inside the pocket of a clown
Continued emphasis on the sadness within the clown's emotional space
Inside the pocket of a clown
Repeated to reinforce the pervasive sorrow of the clown's world
Inside the pocket of a clown
Further reinforcement of the prevailing sadness within the clown's inner world
