For a while, I thought it was enough

to make me happy and make me tough

For a while, I thought I was happy

forgotten all the bad things and was only merry


Never have I ever been so wrong

I was not, no, I was not strong

All this blue still lurked within

never left, always has been


Maybe I was being very dense

with little joy, sadness I could not sense

Oh, I let my guard down

all I am is a stupid clown


Now all that's left is the crater 

I can only hope it will get better

For if I am to say goodbye

my limit is very nigh
