The Man Who Laughs
You are not the first one to depart
You are not the deepest scar in my heart
When the night arrives, no one can hold on to daylight
I’ll get used to it, just let me fly like a lost kite
Watch my glee, grin, giggle and guffaw
I am the “Man Who Laughs”
I long, long, so long for your happiness
Even if it means my loneliness
But why are there tears in my smile
And why couldn’t you find out
I cry and I smile
Neither one was my choice
I am not the first wounded soul
And will not be the most broken soul
I come alone and shall leave alone
I’ll get up and I’ll be ready to go
Watch my glee, grin, giggle and guffaw
I am the “Man Who Laughs”
I long, long, so long for your happiness
Even if it means my loneliness
But why are there tears in my smile
And why couldn’t you find out
I cry and I smile
Neither one was pretended
Watch my glee, grin, giggle and guffaw
I am the “Man Who Laughs”
I long, long, so long for your happiness
Even if it means my loneliness
The tears on the verge of my eyes
Will turn into your shooting star
I’ll give you the sky
And let it be the night and myself
