The Joke - lifehouse

Jason Wade wrote the song about a 13-year-old boy in Britain who committed suicide after being bullied in school. The song is in the perspective of that boy. When you find me in the morning Hanging on a warning Oh... the Joke is on You You said you were pretending Here's to unhappy endings Oh... the joke is on You To make sure yesterday doesn't repeat I took a shortcut home, a left on the street I know they won't find me here I found out how to make Mama proud Be real quiet, don't talk too loud I try, try to disappear My life is for the taking Breakdown is awaking me I'm ending all this pain When you find me in the morning Hanging on a warning Oh... the Joke is on You You said you were pretending Here's to unhappy endings Oh... the Joke is on You This is my last day Should have been my first kiss Think to myself will I ever be missed I hope... or maybe I don't care I wear my team around my neck I love them so much gonna love them to death Tonight... see the world thru my eyes My great escape Is my biggest mistake I think you better turn around Don't throw it away Today...
