When you spend your life believing
That the sky is blue
Only to find out that it's gray
And nothing hurts worse
Than the truth
When it tells you it'll never be

Things started rolling
And the tales of the tongue
Have been driving me insane
Now the joke's on me
And I'm going to leave
Since I found out yesterday

You started turning
My heart started burning
Now it really hurts to see
How long I've been
In the mess I'm in
And I know the joke's on me

I done my time
And I wasted my prime
Trying to save the day
And I don't know how far
I'm playing all my cards
And I'm going all the way

I dug a hole
And I buried my soul
Now I'm setting myself free
From the time I have been
In the mess I'm in
And I know the joke's on me
All the time I have been
In the mess I'm in
And I know the joke's on me
