The Clown
Heartbreak Sonata: Unveiling Pain Through the Piano
Lyrics
After a couple of bottle of red
Consuming a significant amount of red wine
Wine the truth finally came out
Finally revealing the truth
The words "I don't love you
Expressing the words "I don't love you"
Anymore" spilled from his mouth
Spontaneously confessing a lack of love
So I looked to the
Seeking comfort from the waiter
Waiter for some consolation
Waiter pouring coffee without offering solace
But he just poured the coffee
Immediate response from the waiter
And without hesitation he said, "Ma'am
Waiter questioning the customer's needs
Is that all you'll be needing tonight?"
Asking if that's all the customer requires for the night
Oh the piano kept playing
Piano playing in the background
And nobody noticed the heart in
Unnoticed heartbreak in a corner booth
The corner booth breaking
The pain of a heartbreak going unnoticed
Cell phones kept ringin'
Distractions such as ringing cell phones
Glasses were clinkin'
Continued sounds of clinking glasses
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'
People around, joyful and oblivious
So I painted a smile on my
Forcing a smile to hide the sadness
Face to cover the frown
In a room filled with humor and jesters
In that room full of jokers and jesters
Assuming the role of a clown
I was the clown
Well you can't walk the high wire of
Metaphorically walking the tightrope of love
Love and be afraid to fall
Not fearing the risks of love
And you can't put all of your
Not relying entirely on predictions
Faith in a gypsy's crystal ball
Reference to a gypsy's crystal ball
We just do what we do
Doing what one does, taking chances
Take the chances we take
Taking risks in life
Show me a life without a mistake
Recognizing the inevitability of mistakes
Oh, we all learn our lessons
Life's lessons are universal
And we all fall down
Accepting failures and setbacks
Oh the piano keeps playing
Piano continuing to play
And nobody notices the heart in
Unnoticed heartbreak in a corner booth persists
The corner booth breaking
Continued distractions, phones ringing
Cell phones keep ringin'
Glasses clinking, people engaged in revelry
Glasses keep clinkin'
People around, joyful and oblivious
Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'
Continued laughter, dancing, and singing
So if you paint a big smile on
Advice to mask sadness with a big smile
Your face to cover the frown
In a room filled with humor and jesters
In that room full of jokers and jesters
Being the clown at times
Sometimes you're the clown
When the circus is over and
Metaphorically referring to the end of a relationship
The tents are pulled down the truth is
Reality setting in after the end of the relationship
The show must go on for the clown
Acknowledging the need to move on as a clown
And oh, the piano kept playing
Piano playing persistently, life goes on
