On some nights when you'd cry
From nightmares or pain inside
I was so useless, inadequate and stupid
All the time
I'd try to make you smile
Like a clown at the darkest of times
In hindsight it's shameful
To think how unhelpful I was
I felt like a failure, a passive spectator
In your cause
I'd try to make you smile
Like a clown at the darkest of times
