[Verse 1] Two months counting cracks in the kitchen tile Told myself I’d laugh about it in a little while You walked in like a door I thought was locked Now I’m back with the silence and the deadbolt knocked I asked for peace, got a lesson instead Your side of the bed still keeps its shape in my head I wanted a home, a ring, a name Now I make bad jokes just to hide the flame [Chorus] Guess the joke’s on me, I can take the blame Asked for a little joy, got a borrowed name You were almost forever, now you’re almost gone I keep talking tough, but the hurt stays on The joke’s on me, yeah, I know the score You shut that door, I still check once more [Verse 2] I swear I had a plan, had the rent paid straight Then your goodbye put a crack in the calendar date Friends say, “Move on,” like it’s one clean step Like a heart don’t remember every promise it kept I take the long way past the corner store Where we bought cheap coffee and argued at four Now I laugh too loud when they ask if I’m fine Then go home and replay every warning sign [Chorus] Guess the joke’s on me, I can take the blame Asked for a little joy, got a borrowed name You were almost forever, now you’re almost gone I keep talking tough, but the hurt stays on The joke’s on me, yeah, I know the score You shut that door, I still check once more [Bridge] No grand design, no neat little end Just a cracked phone screen and a call I won’t send I can make it through this, even if I’m not sure Some days healing’s just not knocking on your door [Final Chorus] Guess the joke’s on me, but I’m still in the game I’ll carry the bruise, I won’t worship the blame You were almost forever, now you’re almost gone I’ll wake up tomorrow and keep moving on The joke’s on me, yeah, I know the score But I don’t live there anymore [Outro] I don’t live there anymore
