i should be laughing

somewhere

in a scrap book

there's a rose

you gave to me

and the photograph

that's torn in half

and all that's left is me

live happily ever after

that came after i was gone

and they tell you

that you can't go back

then why can't i go on?

when should be laughin'

at this joke

dressed up as love

disguised as hope

and isn't funny

after all this time

a tear is fallin'

when i should be laughin'

sunsets

are like a painting

windows like a frame

when night comes

in and i begin

to see it all again

'cuz

i should be laughing

at this joke

the damage done

the words i spoke

and isn't funny

after all this time

regret can find me

when i should be laughin'

i should laughin' at life

and all of the tricks

that it plays

i should be laughing

at time

and how

fast it's slippin' away

somewhere in a scrap book

there's a rose you gave to me

and with one last look

i close the book

and let the past just be
