The lights are out
They're putting all the chairs up on the table
I pour myself a glass of wine
And take off all my makeup and be grateful
I give him my highs but keep back all the lows
'Cause there's something to hide
That no one need to know
Nobody's clapping, nobody's on their feet
No one's waiting by the stage door
To give their heart to me
Nobody's listening, they've all packed up and gone
Well they laughed out loud before
But that joke just ain't that funny anymore
Without words
It's me up on the stage and I have nothing
And it hurts
That my pain is the thing that keeps them coming
I give him my highs but keep back all the lows
'Cause there's something to hide
That no one needs to know
Nobody's clapping, nobody's on their feet
No one's waiting by the stage door
To give their heart to me
Nobody's listening, they've all packed up and gone
Well they laughed out loud before
But that joke just ain't that funny anymore
I don't know who I think I'm fooling
When they're laughing, I am losing
But I keep on coming back for more
Without them I'd be no one
Barely hanging on and broken
So I keep on coming back for more
Nobody's listening, they've all packed up and gone
Well they laughed out loud before
And they're gon' keep laughing, I am sure
But that joke just ain't that funny anymore
