Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there trying to fool the public

But when it comes down to fooling you

Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Really I'm sad, oh sadder than sad

You're gone and I'm hurting so bad

Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

the tears of a clown

When there's no one around

Oh yeah baby, now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

In order to shield my pride I try

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you decided to go

Oh, I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know

But for others I put on a show

Now there's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

the tears of a clown

When there's no one around, oh yeah

Just like Pagliacci did

I try to keep my sadness hid

Smiling in the public eye

But in my lonely room cry

the tears of a clown

When there's no one around

Oh, yeah baby

Now if there's a smile upon my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Don't let the smile I wear

Make you think that I don't care

Really I'm sad I'm hurting so bad

Younger By Seinabo Sey (Remixed by Kygo)

 

You ain't getting any younger, younger, younger, are you? ...

Younger, younger, younger, are you? ...

You ain't getting... ...

 

[Enjoy...]

Speaking loudly, suffers softly. Smiles so wide, cuts unseen inside.

Bitin' the bullet, but never kick the bucket.
