Ain't That Funny

The lights are out

They're putting all the chairs up on the table

I pour myself a glass of wine

And take off all my makeup and be grateful

I give him my highs but keep back all the lows

'Cause there's somethin' to hide that no one needs to know

Nobody's clappin', nobody's on their feet

No one's waitin' by the stage door to give their heart to me

Nobody's listenin', they've all packed up and gone

Well they laughed out loud before

But that joke just ain't that funny anymore

Without words

It's me up on the stage and I have nothin'

And it hurts

That my pain is the thing that keeps them comin'

I give him my highs but I keep back all the lows

'Cause there's somethin' that I hide that no one needs to know

Nobody's clappin', nobody's on their feet

No one's waitin' by the stage door to give their heart to me

Nobody's listenin', they've all packed up and gone

Well, they laughed out loud before

But that joke just ain't that funny anymore

I don't know who I think I'm foolin'

When they're laughin', I am losin'

But I keep on comin' back for more

Without them I'd be no one

Barely hangin' on and broken

So, I keep on comin' back for more

Nobody's listenin', they've all packed up and gone

Well, they laughed out loud before

And they're gon' keep laughin' I am sure

But that joke just ain't that funny anymore
