The Pettit Project - The Sad Clown

This is my last resort and
My tears now flood the floor and
I've got to shut the door, then
Four years--four years means nothing

Let's be friends (be friends)
"Well, that all depends
On if you show some class
And stop making amends"

But I've lost your love,
And I bet if I repent--
"I'll what? Go back
And reverse my intents?"

Well, given the state (the state)
The state of current trends
"With who?"
Your girlfriends
"It's got nothing to do with them"

Well, we can stay in touch
"We can do as such
But the time has come
Pretend we're only friends by my watch"

I'll just grin and bear it
It isn't fair
It isn't fair

I'm like the sad clown
Eyes big and brown
Note the smile on my face
Stretched ear to ear
And all that,
All that I can ever taste is bitter tears
As they slowly, ever surely wash away this mask of idiotic bliss

"This isn't gonna work"
Was I being a jerk?
Why won't you speak to me?
Do you even think of me?

"Not even listening"
Please respond to me
"Would you just move on from me?"
It's killing me, it's killing me

This isn't how you do it
I can't move on
I can't move on

I'm like the sad clown
Eyes big and brown
Note the smile on my face
Stretched ear to ear
And all that,
All that I can ever taste is bitter tears
As they slowly, ever surely wash away this mask of idiotic bliss

This is my last resort and
My tears now flood the floor and
I've got to shut the door, then
Four years--four years means nothing

I guess I'm supposed to just up and move on from this
No grace time
No goodbye
No final kiss
This is the worst way that you could've handled this
"I love you so much" means nothing to you

I'm like the sad clown
Eyes big and brown
Note the smile on my face
Stretched ear to ear
And all that,
All that I can ever taste is bitter tears
As they slowly, ever surely wash away this mask of idiotic bliss
