Except this never happened.

Remember that joke you used to tell me?

The one where you said that you still loved me?

Let me tell you,

Before I caught you laughing I 

hung on to those words like they were oxygen

I breathed them in and breathed them out

but that was before I breathed curses under them

Remember that joke you used to tell?

The one about that boy who loved you?

That was a good one too,

except for all the nights spent lying under you

with you lying to my face

I breathed those words in, in and out

but that was before everything I found out...

I'm waiting for the punch line

as you're laughing with all your friends

I think that when I get it

I won't think it's nearly as funny as them

And that's not ok, but I'll say it is

because i like the way you smile

Remember when you got my hopes up?

And crushed them under your heel?

That wasn't too funny, and not all that clever,

but you'll know that when I repay the way I feel

They say an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind

but a heart for a heart means nothing

when your heart died years ago

They say an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind

but a heart for a heart means nothing

when your heart is as cold as the stone above my bed

I'm waiting for the punch line

as you're laughing with all your friends

I think that when I get it

I won't think it's nearly as funny as them

And that's not ok, but I'll say it is

because i like the way you smile

The love that you gave up on

all that love you left

Won't be here if you decide you want me back.

I'll move on, no more waiting

for you to say that shit again

Remember the joke I told?

The one about leaving you out in the cold?

Well, I think it'll be funny

when I'm watching you through the window sill

And maybe you will and maybe you won't

But I do hope you appreciate the irony I've built up

because I like the way you smile

Remember all the jokes we told each other?

Well, they're hers and mine now.

Remember the way we fit across your sheets?

Well we fit even better now

They said something about salts in wounds

and I'm hoping for them to form

so I can show you how this burns
