The Joke Lyrics by Olivia Altair

KILL MY FEELINGS

2023

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh...
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You...
[Verse 1]
I had a vivid dream last night...
It kinda felt just like real life
And I woke up terrified...
'Cause you looked me in the eyes
And you told me you were mine...
I think I wanna die...
I asked you why you seem to hide, and you said
"It's 'cause I love lying!"
You made me laugh myself to tears, and
Now I can't stop fucking crying...
[Chorus]
But I just can't help but laugh-
Would you ever love me back?
Maybe I don't wanna know...
You could break my heart in half
And nothing's funny about that
And it's out of my control!
I'm sick and tired of sleepless nights
Oh, if you only knew!
But I just can't help but laugh:
Cupid's a psychopath!
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You!
[Post-Chorus Interlude]
Ooh, ooh...
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh!
[Verse 2]
I had a vivid dream last night...
And you said, "well, so did I..."
"...That dreamers often lie..."
(And you told me you were mine...)
Love is a suicide
It's just a fact of life!
Can't escape it if you try...
(And now I think I wanna die...)
I went from hating everyone to
Soap opera melodrama...
I went from saying "You're the one!" to
Living in The Twilight Saga...
[Chorus]
But I just can't help but laugh-
Would you ever love me back?
Maybe I don't wanna know...
You could break my heart in half
And nothing's funny about that
And it's out of my control!
I'm sick and tired of sleepless nights
Oh, if you only knew!
But I just can't help but laugh:
Cupid's a psychopath!
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You!
[Bridge]
Situational tragedy-
I wonder if you'd be mad at me
If I told you that this was more than a song
Oh, oh!
Dramatical irony
Whenever you lay your eyes on me...
Every single line I say comes out so wrong
I don't know what to do...
But if this was a bit
Know I'd commit to you!
[Musical Interlude]
[Chorus]
But I just can't help but laugh-
Would you ever love me back?
Maybe I don't wanna know...
You could break my heart in half
And nothing's funny about that
And it's out of my control!
I'm sick and tired of sleepless nights
Oh, if you only knew!
But I just can't help but laugh:
Cupid's a psychopath!
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You!
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh...
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You...
Ooh, ooh...
The joke is on me
And the punchline's
You...
