Things That No One Else Found Funny

from Giant Leap Year by Michael Vickers

/

lyrics

It only seems like yesterday
We were watching TV in the bar down the street.
It wasn’t just the two of us laughing.
But at least the two of us were still happy
That’s how it used to be and truthfully

I never expected to be more than just good friends
I didn’t understand what all your actions meant
And when at last we found what we’d been waiting for
You realized you didn’t need it any more
I never thought you were gonna leave me
When you said you were, I couldn’t believe it
I never felt that he’d make you happy
Why were we surprised it ended so badly?

And as we got closer and closer, our friendship had evolved -
Things matter more when there’s feelings involved
I never knew that you couldn’t hack it.
Now there’s only one of us left laughing.
And it isn’t me, it should’ve been easy.

I never expected to be more than just good friends
I didn’t understand what all your actions meant
And when at last we got what we been waiting for
I realized I didn’t need it anymore, but,
I never thought you were gonna leave me
When you said you were I couldn’t believe it
I never felt that he’d make you happy
Why were we surprised that it ended so badly?

Now it’s hard to say
What went wrong that day
When you went away
Oh and it shouldn’t have
Been such a troublesome task
I thought we were made to last
It ended way too fast
Now there’s no way to pretend
We were ever truly friends
Everyone warned us then
It’d turn sour in the end.

I never expected to be more than just good friends
I didn’t understand what all your actions meant
And when at last we got what we been waiting for
I realized I didn’t need it anymore, but,
I never thought you were gonna leave me
When you said you were I couldn’t believe it
I never felt that he’d make you happy
We'd laugh at things no one else found funny

We’d laugh at things no one else found funny
I truly thought that you understood me
How was I to know that the joke was on me?
I never thought you were gonna leave
I thought if anyone was gonna walk it would be me
But I don’t agree that he makes you happy
You laugh along and help him think he’s funny.
