lyrics

I don't trust myself anymore
When it's just the long con of romance
I could kid myself into believing
But I've never had that much faith to begin with

Is this my cosmic joke?
Better than I'd hoped
i'm being sarcastic now
Thought you ought to know

Feels like I'm a walking punch-line
To the person I thought I'd be someday
Sometimes regret is the only answer
When hypocrisy gets the best of you

Is this my cosmic joke?
Better than I'd hoped
i'm being sarcastic now
Thought you ought to know

Daydreams never last a minute
i'm for the infatuation game
Tell tale signs that you're resentful
Like opening old wounds just for the fun of it

I'm getting used to being right
Most of the time
Just smile and pretend
With a little spite
