## Lyrics
[verse]
Just like a clown who paints a great big grin
I dance around to hide the hurt within
The crowd is laughing at my funny walk
They never hear the sadness in my talk

[chorus]
Nobody's ever felt this low
Underneath a painted, cheerful glow
Cause underneath this greasepaint smile
There's a heart that's breaking all the while

[verse]
I juggle jokes to keep the crowd amused
While every night I'm feeling used and bruised
The spotlight's bright but all I see is gray
Since the one I loved just walked away

[chorus]
Nobody's ever felt this low
Underneath a painted, cheerful glow
Cause underneath this greasepaint smile
There's a heart that's breaking all the while

[bridge]
So when the circus lights go dim and low
And everybody packs it up to go
I'll wipe away the paint and let it show
The saddest clown that this town will ever know

[chorus]
Nobody's ever felt this low
Underneath a painted, cheerful glow
Cause underneath this greasepaint smile
There's a heart that's breaking all the while
