There's a bitter truth, every kind of joke You say it with a big smile, you cover it

With smoke

He was trying to tell me in his own kind of way. A little stolen valor couldn't help what he had to say

Eating all my chocolates, left the wrappers on the floor

Woke up in the morning to a wide open door. He never said goodbye

There's a bitter truth, every kind of joke You say it with a big smile, you cover it with smoke

I guess he thought he meant it, I guess he thought he was right

Teasing me with his laughing, that went on and on all night

Poker chips on the dishes, playing cards on the floor

I looked around to find him, but what was I looking for

He never, he never said goodbye. Maybe he'll come back, maybe next time

How can I tell, looking in his eyes? Acting like a stranger, living in a dream

There's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth in every kind of joke. He never said goodbye

There's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth. Said it with a smile and a tear in his eye. There's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth in every kind of joke

There's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth, there's a bitter truth in every kind of joke. He never said goodbye

So I say it out loud and cover it with smoke. There's a bitter truth in every kind of joke

There's a bitter truth in every kind of joke
