Not Joking

[Verse 1]
This is the life that almost killed me
This life it made me walk away
But you know how life moves in circles
This is a character I play

[Verse 2]
This is the theater I was born into
Some of my stuff's still there today
Always only doing it for the room
Like I was born to entertain

[Chorus]
Don't laugh, it's not funny
Don't joke, I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap and keep smiling
But don't laugh, na-na-na-na-na
Don't laugh

[Verse 3]
This is the fear that I was born into
Somehow affects me still today
Always afraid of knowing what to do, but
Those who are blessed shall not complain

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know me
Not how you used to
I was never cool
I thought I told you

[Chorus]
Don't laugh, it's not funny
Don't joke, I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap and keep smiling
But don't laugh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Don't laugh, it's not funny
Don't joke, I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap and keep smiling
But don't laugh, na-na-na-na-na
Don't laugh

[Outro]
Don't laugh, na-na-na-na-na
Don't laugh
