He was only seventeen When he first lost his soul We were walking down the road But he was kind of cold I already felt so old When i was just fifteen There is something more than gold I cannot buy with money But do i have to pay to cry over you How i wish i'd never tried to please anyone i've met How i wish i'd never tried to chase something i'll never get Oh how i wish i'd never tried, tried to fly I realised i was born a clown But it's too late to know I perform but there's no audience Should i go on with the show Who will like a clown that frowns A silly girl like me If you know please write it down And send a list to me But will there be any names at all on this list How i wish i never said those words that made myself sad How i wish i'd never done the things i knew i would regret Oh how i wish i'd never tried, tried to fly
