[Verse 1]
Reality is setting in, I know I must begin again
How quickly did you change?
Another new persona 'cause you laugh behind a living hell
What's left now for us to rearrange?

[Chorus]
No matter how you treated me
No matter 'bout your cruelty
You won't take my laugh away from me
No matter how you beat me down
No matter how I hit the ground
You won't take my laugh away from me

[Verse 2]
All those years I had your back
You laugh without a backward glance
Everything I thought was true
It seems you live without a care
You vanished into thin air
Like smoke of a chimney flu

[Chorus]
No matter how you treated me
No matter 'bout your cruelty
You won't take my laugh away from me
How you beat me down
No matter how I hit the ground
You won't take my laugh away from me

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I wake up each day wishing you hadn't gone away
And left me here to mourn
My heart has well gone
Reasons the future are undone
I'm lost like a little girl once more

[Chorus]
No matter how you treated me
No matter 'bout your cruelty
You won't take my laugh away from me
How you beat me down
No matter how I hit the ground
You won't take my laugh away from me
How you treated me
No matter 'bout your cruelty
You won't take my laugh away from me
How you beat me down
No matter how I hit the ground
You won't take my laugh away from me
