The Joke lyrics

When you find me in the morning

hanging on a warning,

oh... the joke is on you!

You said you were pretending!

Here's to unhappy endings!

Oh... the joke is on you!

To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat,

I took a shortcut home, a left on the street.

I know... they won't find me here.

I found out how to make mama proud.

Be real quiet, don't talk too loud.

I try... try to disappear.

My life is for the taking!

Breakdown is awaking me.

I'm ending all this pain.

When you find me in the morning

hanging on a warning,

oh... the joke is on you!

You said you were pretending!

Here's to unhappy endings!

Oh... the joke is on you!

This is my last day,

should have been my first kiss.

Think to myself, 'Will I ever be missed?'

I hope... or maybe I don't care.

I wear my team around my neck.

I love them so much gonna love them to death.

Tonight... I see the world through my eyes.

My life is for the taking!

Breakdown is awaking me.

I'm ending all this pain.

When you find me in the morning

hanging on a warning,

oh... the joke is on you!

You said you were pretending!

Here's to unhappy endings!

Oh... the joke is on you!

My great escape

Is my biggest mistake.

I think you better turn around.

Don't throw it away today... today.

When you find me in the morning

hanging on a warning,

oh... the joke is on you!

You said you were pretending!

Here's to unhappy endings!

Oh... the joke is on you!

The joke is on you!

The joke is on you!

The joke is on you!

The joke is on you!
