It's only there trying to fool the public.

Give you the wrong impression.

And Honey to shield my pride I try,

to cover this hurt with a show of gladness.  
Gb        Db      Gb      B 
But don't let my show convince you,

that I've been happy since you, decided to go.

lonely room I cry, the tears of a clown,
