Not A Comedy

Lyrics

Verse 1
You laughed it off fast
Like it was all a joke
Big grin, little gasp
Then you missed the point

You said, "don't take it deep"
Like that made it small
But the room went quiet
When the truth hit the wall

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I know the look
I know that grin
You play it cute
Then you pull me in

But read the room
It's not a bit
It's sharp, it's real
And I won't call it

Chorus
Sounds like a comedy
No, not tonight
Sounds like a comedy
But I got blood in my eyes
You can laugh, you can clap
You can fake that smile
Sounds like a comedy
Yeah, but it's mine (it's mine)

Verse 2
You turn every bruise
Into punchline gold
Make the hurt look small
Till it starts to fold

I saw your hands
On the easy way out
I saw my name
Get talked around

You don't get to say
What it was to me
Not a joke to sell
Not a scene to beat

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I know the look
I know that grin
You play it cute
Then you pull me in

But read the room
It's not a bit
It's sharp, it's real
And I won't call it

Chorus
Sounds like a comedy
No, not tonight
Sounds like a comedy
But I got blood in my eyes
You can laugh, you can clap
You can fake that smile
Sounds like a comedy
Yeah, but it's mine (it's mine)

Bridge
Tape stops
One breath
Now say it plain
Was it funny
When you said my name?

No more little jokes
No more sweet disguise
Take a hard look now
At what you baptized

Final Chorus
Sounds like a comedy
No, not tonight
Sounds like a comedy
But I got blood in my eyes
You can laugh, you can clap
You can fake that smile
Sounds like a comedy
Yeah, but it's mine (it's mine)
