Instead

Well I’ve been feeling lately
so down and so depressed
My friends they say they hate me
and my family never guess

My condition is a strange affliction
it’s a contradiction to the way I feel in my head
I should be crying but I just keep cracking up instead

Woman said she left me
she tore my heart in half
I tried to stop her leaving
but all I could do was laugh

It’s confusing when you find amusing
that the love you’re losing is in another mans bed
I should be angry but I just keep cracking up instead

Death, disease, destruction,
the world’s an ugly place
It ain’t a laughing matter
but I can’t keep a straight face

It’s precarious to find hilarious
the worst and scariest things in life you should dread
I should be worried but I just keep cracking up instead
I should be running but I just keep cracking up instead
I should do something but I just keep cracking up instead
