The Joker

New Years Day


The heart wants what the heart wants...
When I’m standing on the edge, it’s time to make a choice.
The most repulsive one of all is if I fall, it’s all my fault
The heart wants what the heart wants,
I know it isn’t you.

Will you take this as a hint
I won’t take shit from anyone
You pushed too hard, took this too far
Nothing’s ever fair in love and war...
Wipe that grin off your face

You’ll always be a joker to me
Same old story, same routine
Now that I’ve seen the tricks up your sleeve, I’m not one for make believe
You use your illusions and hide what’s inside
Save it for someone who buys your love
You’ll always be a joker to me, but I’m not laughing anymore

Well, I can’t say it’s been a pleasure just a pain and quite a mess
I’m no damsel in distress, a weight off my chest
I can breathe without your hands around my neck.
You’re mistaken if you ever think you’ll make another fool out of me! How pathetic can you be?
Smile at the crowd, take one last bow...
The show’s over! No one’s laughing now...

You’ll always be a joker to me
Same old story, same routine
Now that I’ve seen the tricks up your sleeve, I’m not one for make believe
You use your illusions and hide what’s inside
Save it for someone who buys your love
You’ll always be a joker to me, but I’m not laughing anymore

I’ve got a couple tricks of my own, a few I still haven’t shown
When I get you alone, now you see it now you don’t!

You’ve backed me in the corner for the last time I’m taking control (control)
Standing at the edge with your life in my hands and I let you fall!

You’ll always be a joker to me
Same old story, same routine
Now that I've seen the tricks up your sleeve, I’m not one for make believe
You use your illusions and hide what’s inside
Save it for someone who buys your love
You’ll always be a joker to me, but I’m not laughing anymore

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt...
