I know it's a joke
Another game
A little fun can ease the pain
It's all well and good to be the fool
As long as tears can touch you too

You laugh when I cry
To make me smile
You tell me everything's alright
I mean what I say it's humouless
My love for you is serious, so serious

I'm a lover
A heart like any other
I see the same in you
Let me into the half you hold on to

Tragic comedy
It's all too true
As close as I can get to you

I want to come in
But I'm not sure
In case you hide behind the door
Enough is enough I can't ignore
It isn't funny anymore, anymore

I'm a lover
A heart like any other
I see the same in you
Let me into the half you hold on to

Tragic comedy
It's all too true
As close as I can get to you
Tragic comedy
Keep us in two
As close as I can get to you

Let go of all your make believe
Before you lose your dignity
I pray that humour sees you through
The tables turning round on you

As close as I can get to you
