Somwhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
And a photograph
That's torn in half
& all that's left is me

Happily ever after
That came after I was gone
& they tell you that
You can't go back
So why can't I go on?

Chorus:
When I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love, disguised as hope
& isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is fallin'; when i should be laughing

Sunsets are like a painting
Windows like a frame
The night comes in
& I begin to see it all again

Chorus:
Cause I should be laughing at this joke
The damage done, the words I spoke
& isn't it funny after all this time
regret can find me; when i should be laughing

I should be laughing at life
& all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time
& how fast its slippin away

Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
& with one last look, i close the book
& let the past just be...

Chorus:
Cause I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love, disguised as hope
& isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is fallin'
Cause I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love, disguised as hope
& isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is fallin' when i should be laughing
