Away from here
Away from now
Away from the people who call me clown
People change
They move on
But still they remember all the fun
They still call me clown
"A Lepard cant change their spots" They say
I know i'll prove them wrong one day
Walk accross the town and people stare
"Hey theres the clown" They would say
Words cut deep from a past you want to forget
You will never guess what?
They still call me clown
Walk across a bridge and just look down
If I jumped would they still call me clown?
If I die
Passers by
No longer say
"Hey theres the clown"
But cry.
I guess a lepard can change its spots
But if people dont look they dont see
There goes just another clown.
