The Joker
through my whole life, i never knew how 2 tell jokes
and "The Brain" was my name among my folks
it's this brain i've been losing- since i met you
for i fell in love with your smile, being so pure & true,
i was ready to do anything to see that smile i love
so, i started telling jokes... and you started to laugh.
that was only the start, now it doesn't sound right
i really love 2 make u happy- but it's far from your sight
i don't wanna be your Joker... but your Knight
when you fall in darkness, i wanna be your only light.
and i suffer every time your sadness shows
but to 'him' is always where you prefer to go
he may be able to ease your pain & sorrow
but you never gave me a chance to follow
i dream every night that you're crying loud
and there's no one but me... despite the crowd
then you finally give me your worries and fears
but i wake up... before i wipe away your tears
it's so hard to keep my balance on this thin line
between the man i want and the man you used to find
i don't know where to go... i'm so blind
i know it's me who should change and i wish i could
but i'm afraid to lose the small piece of you i've got
and fail on my way to the piece i want
if you want a joker- so the Joker i shall be
until you find my other side that you don't see
and i'll be right here- in the corner where there's only me
till you find my soul... and set me free.
