SAD I LOST THE FUNNY(RADIO)

POP, POWER BALLAD, HIT SONG, DIVA, FEMAL VOICE, POP ROCK, NUMBER ONE HIT, FEMALE SINGER

(Verse 1)**
I used to own every room I was in
With a sideways joke and a crooked grin
I could disarm trouble with a laugh
Cut the tension right in half
My finest trick, my saving grace
Was putting a smile on my mother's face
Her laughter was the sweetest sound
On this unforgiving ground
I wore my joy just like a shield
The brightest thing out on the field
**(Verse 2)**
The phone call came on a Tuesday bright
Stole the color, stole the light
A world of shock, a silent scream
The ending of a waking dream
And while my heart was learning how to break
For goodness and for pity's sake
Seven days, a second wave
Put my father in his grave
Two pillars fell, two anchors gone
And left me in a silent dawn
And I'm not just sad my world is gone
I'm sad I'm lost inside the dawn
Where everything feels gray and heavy
And the old light just won't steady
I try to find the man I used to be
Beneath the wreckage and debris
But that happy stranger's out of money
And God, I'm sad I lost the funny
**(Verse 3)**
My friends all try, they walk on glass
They wait for this heavy mood to pass
They tell a story, watch my face
Hoping I'll fall back into place
I see a joke up in the air
But I can't reach it from this chair
My mind constructs the perfect line
But it's not mine, it's no longer mine
The punchline dies behind my eyes
A ghost of unmade, quick replies
And I'm not just sad my world is gone
I'm sad I'm lost inside the dawn
Where everything feels gray and heavy
And the old light just won't steady
I try to find the man I used to be
Beneath the wreckage and debris
But that happy stranger's out of money
And God, I'm sad I lost the funny
And this is a love song, I suppose
For the man I was, that nobody knows
Anymore... especially me
Who I was when I was free
And Mom, your laugh was my true north
And without it, I've forgotten my own worth
Dad, your quiet smile was my reward
Now it's a snapped and useless chord
And I'm not just sad my world is gone
I'm sad I'm lost inside the dawn
Where everything feels gray and heavy
And the old light just won't steady
I try to find the man I used to be
Beneath the wreckage and debris
But that happy stranger's out of money
And God, I'm sad I lost the funny
So sad I lost the funny.
I look in the mirror, search for a sign
Of that clever, smiling friend of mine
But all I see is a quiet man
With a face that doesn't have a plan
Just his parents' empty eyes
Reflecting empty, waiting skies...
And I'm sad I lost

the funny...
So sad I lost the funny.
