Lyrics

Half the Laugh

[Intro]

Patrick's got to restart

[Verse 1]

I'm always cautious crossing the road

I love the way your hand feels on my throat

We only have the time to tell the truth

I'm gonna get everything I want from you

'Cause we don't have time to lie

We don't have time to lie

[Chorus]

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)

[Verse 2]

Slide your hand up my leg in the back of the van

Let my knees dig graves into the sand

I say your name by thе fire, but I don't really care

You don't need to walk ovеr, or hold my hand

I got my edge back, I got my edge back

I got my edge back

[Chorus]

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)

[Post-Chorus]

Maybe the hurt is half the laugh

Maybe the hurt is half the laugh

[Bridge]

I got my edge back, I got my edge back

I got my edge back, I got my edge back

[Chorus]

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)

I say maybe the hurt is half the laugh

(Maybe the hurt is half the laugh)
