You are a handfull of roses
Thorns in a cheap bouquet
True, I'm a walking disaster
They told you to stay away

Seems like I'm making a deal with the devil
Who's whispering softly to me
"Are you sure that she's the one?"

'Cause I feel like a bad joke
Walk a tightrope to hold on to you
Was it real, or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don't think I can forget about it

You are a shining example
Of why I don't sleep at all
T-t-t-too many sheep on the brain
To make sense of a late night call

Talking in circles and chasing the tail
Of a love drunk distant memory
Am I sure that she's the one?

'Cause I feel like a bad joke
Walk a tightrope to hold on to you
Was it real, or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don't think I can forget about it

(Gotta know, was it real?)

You know, there are some days when I really feel like this could work
Like, you and I are finally gonna get it right
Then there are days like today
When you make me wanna tear my fucking hair out

'Cause I feel like a bad joke
(Like a bad joke)
Walk a tightrope to hold on to you
(Gotta know)
Was it real, or a love scene from a bad dream?
I don't think I can forget about it

I feel like just like a bad joke
(Whoa)
Gotta know, was it real?
Waking up from a bad dream
(From a bad dream)
I don't think I can forget about it
So just forget about it
So just forget
