Facade

If all the world's a stage, I must wonder -
What is my role in this tragic drama?
Not Miss Perfect Princess: I make blunders
I'm the miserable comic relief.

I play the game of make-believe quite well,
Laughing to drown my quiet hidden tears...
I smile but I'm not doing that swell
I'm pretending their sneers don't get to me.

Yeah everybody loves a clown, it's true.
Objectified as a silly cartoon
I look a fool to everyone but you
You tear away my facade easily

But I'll keep acting for everyone else
because
I'm the miserable comic relief.

This is really good and its so true
