I Say It Like A Joke (But It's True) Lyrics

I don't really play piano

But I would learn for you

I'd play from day to night

Until my hands are cracked and dry

I'd play your favorite songs

And write some too

'Cause every girl I've loved goes crazy

I say it like a joke, but it's true

They always seem like they're worth chasing

By the time my mind is changing

I think I'd like to be alone with you

I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away

I'm not running away unless you are too

I don't know who was lying

My parents or my friends or the truth

I thought I had it all

Until my back's against the wall

And I have no one to tell this story to

So every job I've had feels empty

I wish that was a joke, I really do

Every hour's just another little second we're together

How the hell am I supposed to make it through

I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away

I'm not running away unless you are too

I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away

I'm not running away unless you are too

'Cause every girl I've loved goes crazy

The craziest one's still loving me

It's so much easier to sleep

Even though they're haunting me

The nightmare cannot stand beneath this dream

And I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away

I'm not running away unless you are too

I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away

I'm not running away unless you are too
