It’s a tragedy
That life’s not a fairytale
Like in the books I read
Like on the movie screens
And if life’s just a fancy play
Then I wanted romantics but
They saved a special script for me
It’s not love, it’s comedy
Just look what it's done to me

I can't believe
I thought romance was meant for me
Oh what a fantasy, but now I see
And mother doesn’t get the joke
Where I want love and I get none
I cried for weeks
When the last one left
Oh, isn't that hilarious
I guess it’s sad
From the outside in
But it’s so funny
It’s so funny to me
So now you see
It's all a joke

Though you might see me crying
It's not from the sadness (It's not from the sadness)
And it’s not from the shame (It's not from the shame)
It’s cause I’m doubled over, shaking, and laughing
So hard
I’m in pain
It’s not love, it’s comedy
Just look what it's done to me

I can't believe
I thought romance was meant for me
Oh what a fantasy, but now I see
And mother doesn’t get the joke
Where I want love and I get none
I cried for weeks
When the last one left
Oh, isn't that hilarious
I guess it’s sad from the outside in
But it’s so funny
It’s so funny to me

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha

So I guess I’ll die laughing
I’ll die laughing alone
So I guess I’ll die laughing
I’ll die laughing alone
So I guess I’ll die laughing
I’ll die laughing alone
So I guess I’ll die laughing
I’ll die laughing alone
