VERSE 2

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[just make em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played 
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[one lonely star and you don't know who you are]

But how was I to know which way the stor-y’d go

How was I to know you'd break

You’d break my heart
