Lyrics

There’s a painted smile upon the face
And the chalky features hide the tears
Behind those pencilled eyes you’ll find
A confused mind so full of fears

It’s such a sad story to tell
Of how love never begun
Just like the boy who cried wolf
They think his crying is for fun

And when the ring is empty
He stands in darkness like before

But when the audience arrives
At least he can pretend

A soul destined to be alone
A creature hiding in the light
He trips his way through every hour
He bluffs his way through every night

It’s such a sad, sad story to tell
Of how love never begun
Just like the boy who cried wolf
They think his crying is for fun

And when the ring is empty
He stands in darkness like before

But when the audience arrives
At least he can pretend
