Lyrics
Chorus
I try to smile and pretend all the while
But since you went away, “What’s the use?”
I try to clown, just to hide every frown
But my heart seems to say: “What’s the use?”
I build each dream that I dream just for you
How can they ever come true?
I need you more now than ever before
But you’ve closed heaven’s door
So “What’s the use?”
