Jokes (with Mickey Taylor)

Baby I got something bad to tell you
I don’t love you and I never will
Baby I’ve been this way, like, forever,
You never stood a chance cos I’m a mess

I’ll just fall into something new
Like I always do
Cos I never knew
How to stick around

I was only making jokes
When I told you
That I loved you
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone
So I hold you
It’s not about you
I’ll never feel the same
I was only making jokes
When I told you
That I feel you
Never felt that way
So baby get your coat
You can have a toke
Then I’m gonna send you on your way

Nothing you could say could change my mind now
I got this hurting cycle down to an art
No one matters, nothing ever works out
I hate myself so I could never love you

I’ll just fall into something new
Like I always do
Cos I never knew
How to stick around

I was only making jokes
When I told you
That I loved you
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone
So I hold you
It’s not about you
I’ll never feel the same
I was only making jokes
When I told you
That I feel you
Never felt that way
So baby get your coat
You can have a toke
Then I’m gonna send you on your way

Somewhere someone out there’s calling your name
Whilst someone deep inside me’s going insane
Maybe one day I could learn to change
But this is how I’ll keep my heart safe

I was only making jokes
When I told you
That I loved you
How do I explain?
I’m afraid to be alone
So I hold you
It’s not about you
