(Verse 1) You said you had my back, Guess that was just for show, Smiling in my face While you stabbed me on the low. You knew all of my secrets, Every weakness, every scar, Funny how you used them To make yourself look hard. You played the sweetest person, You had everybody fooled, But I started seeing cracks In the little game you ruled. You thought I’d never notice, You thought I’d never know, But secrets don’t stay secrets When everybody starts to talk. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, you really thought You were getting away with it? Oh, you really thought I was too stupid to admit— (Chorus) What a joke! Look who’s laughing now. You built your little kingdom And it’s falling to the ground. What a joke! You called yourself my friend, But the mask fell off And everybody saw the end. You can tell your little stories, You can twist it how you want, But the truth came out eventually— And now you’re caught. What a joke! Yeah, what a joke. (Verse 2) You’d say, “I’d never do that,” With your hand across your heart, Then I’d hear the same exact words From someone else’s mouth. You’d make me look dramatic For asking what you meant, Then play the innocent victim When I finally got upset. You wanted all the attention, Wanted everyone to choose, So you turned us against each other With the lies you couldn’t prove. But you forgot one little thing About the people that you fooled— Eventually we compare notes, And suddenly we knew. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, you really thought You could keep us all divided? Oh, you really thought Nobody would realize it? (Chorus) What a joke! Look who’s laughing now. You built your little kingdom And it’s falling to the ground. What a joke! You called yourself my friend, But the mask fell off And everybody saw the end. You can tell your little stories, You can twist it how you want, But the truth came out eventually— And now you’re caught. What a joke! Yeah, what a joke. (Bridge) And honestly, thank you, For showing me your face. I would’ve kept defending you If you hadn’t gone too far. I thought losing you would hurt me, Thought I’d never be okay, But losing a fake friend Isn’t losing much anyway. So keep the screenshots, Keep the lies, Keep rehearsing your alibis. I’ve got nothing left to prove, And I’ve got nothing left to lose. (Breakdown) You said, “Trust me.” I did. You said, “Believe me.” I did. You said, “I’m your friend.” I was. Funny how that changed so fast. (Final Chorus) WHAT A JOKE! Look who’s laughing now! Everybody knows the truth, You can’t hide it anymore. WHAT A JOKE! You wanted me to fall, But you only showed the world Who you really were at all. You can cry, you can blame me, You can swear I misunderstood, But the truth doesn’t disappear Just because you wish it would. You were never my best friend, You were just playing a role— And now the whole damn audience Knows the story that you sold. (Outro) So take your little crown, Take your little throne, Take every fake apology And leave me alone. You wanted to be famous For the mess you made— Congratulations. Everybody knows your name. What a joke. What a joke. God, what a joke.
