Life’s a Joke

[Verse 1]
Found out like a few months prior
That you were gonna move out of state
I hoped that you were a liar
Or that you'd stop at the gate
Change your mind about the whole ordeal
Go back home like nothing happened
I know you think it's not ideal
But at least you wouldn't be absent

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make me say goodbye now
It's just a little bit of distance
Hey, please don't watch me cry now

[Chorus]
I hope this is the only instance of runnin’ away, leavin’ me all alone
Countin’ the days until you come back home
Of course I miss you, you were my best friend
With you not around, I will always contend
Life’s a joke
Life’s a joke
Life’s a joke
Life’s a jo-o-o-o-oke

[Verse 2]
Last time we talked before you checked your bags
I told you I'd miss you and you said it back
You told me that it's all for the best
But I don't understand all this pain in my chest

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make me say goodbye now
It's just a little bit of distance
Hey, please don't watch me cry now

[Chorus]
I hope this is the only instance of runnin’ away, leavin’ me all alone
Countin’ the days until you come back home
Of course I miss you, you were my best friend
With you not around, I will always contend
Runnin’ away, leavin’ me all alone
Countin’ the days until you come back home
Of course I miss you, you were my best friend
With you not around, I will always contend
Life’s a joke
Life’s a joke
Life’s a joke
Life’s a jo-o-o-o-oke

[Outro]
Don't make me say goodbye now
It's just a little bit of distance
Hey, please don't watch me cry now
I hope this is the only instance
