The Joke

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

My life is for the taking

Breakdown is awaking me

I'm ending all this pain

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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... see the world through my eyes

[Chorus 2]

My life is for the taking

Breakdown is awaking me

I'm ending all this pain

[Outro]

My great escape

Is my biggest mistake

I think you better turn around

Don't throw it away

Today... today
