love's a joke Lyrics

She said I'm too much reminders of

A certain someone she once knew

But now that he's fallen through

She's holding back

Says "I won't do that again"

So how 'bout we just stay friends

And not think about how this ends

It starts off friendly enough

I can't complain

She's got jokes she's pretty

Has good taste

Soon we're talking damn near every day

We'll go on dates

But never call them dates

But I think that I'm starting to love her

And this is all she has to offer

No

Not taking the highs with the lows

Got both feet in she's got her toe

Can't keep this up if you don't know

So I say goodbye I'm letting go

Guess I could've waited and gave it time

Hope she makes her mind finally be mine

She'll say "everything happens for a reason"

But did it have to end with my heart bleeding?

Days turn to weeks

And we're getting close

She's got a smile that lights rooms

And feels home

We laugh and we joke like

Nothings wrong

But inside I'm overthinking

Barely holding on

I see the way she looks at me

Maybe there's a chance of being more

Than sharing seats

But every time I take a step

She's pulling back

Afraid of what comes next

We sit and we talk but never bout what we are

Sharing dreams and bumping knees

While keeping hearts apart

But look

I think that I need space

Cause I'm falling harder every day

So I said no

I give my love away she still goes

Says she's unsure she don't know

So I wrote a song in my notes

And I call it love is a fucking joke

Says she's not ready that it takes time

She's a little sad but she'll be fine

I guess everything happened for a reason

But did it have to end with my heart bleeding?

So go keep healing all by yourself

Or find what you're looking for in someone else

We both got friends that'll take our side

Why'd I open my heart?

Time to press rewind

So I let go

Who is she now? I don't know

I'm looking for her at my shows

She don't even have all my clothes

Was a clean goodbye

Now I'm alone

Telling out our stories through chords and rhymes

Never in my day but she's still online

Guess everything happened for a reason

But she's alright

And I'm still bleeding
