lyrics

You laugh at your own joke
Or maybe you just misspoke
You look around no one’s laughing with you
You just feel with your head
Wonder if your hear is dead
You look at yourself and you’re lacking virtue

Let me see your face
You think you fell from grace
Your laughter is a ruse
Let me hear your words
You think you’ve got no worth
Please stop this self abuse

You cry in your place
And laugh at your own face
You look around see nightmares come true
And all that you’ve ever known
And all the ways you’ve grown
Have only left their best selves behind you
You look at the ceiling fan
A leather belt in your hand
And wonder will anyone ever miss you

Let me see your face
You think you fell from grace
Your laughter is a ruse
Let me hear your words
You think you’ve got no worth
Please stop this self abuse

So laugh at your own joke
Don’t worry if you misspoke
Just look for me I’ll be laughing with you
Don’t look at the ceiling fan
Put down the belt in your hand
No matter what I will always love you

(Sometimes it’s hard to find a friend)
(But always loneliness can end)
(No matter what I still love you)
(And life is beautiful)
