LIFEHOUSE LYRICS - The Joke

"The Joke"



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... see the world through my eyes



My life is for the taking

Breakdown is erasing me

I'm ending all this pain



My great escape

Is my biggest mistake

I think you better turn around

Don't throw it away

Today... today...
