[Verse 1]
On the edges of the sharpest knives
In the middle of the darkest nights
Always knew that I would find you here
In a puddle of the bravest tears
I've seen enough to know
It's lonely where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Above the crowd
Feet dangling from a rooftop (A rooftop)
She waits from ledges
For a voice to talk her down

[Chorus]
And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone (Still waiting)
The never-ending nights when you're awake (Still waiting)
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
There will be a time to crack another smile (Still waiting)
Maybe not today or for a while (Still waiting)
But we're holding on to laugh again some day
To laugh again some day

[Verse 2]
All that matters is the time we had
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
Never wonder what it might be like
Shut the door, say goodbye
When faced with tragedy (When faced with tragedy)
We come alive or come undone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So don't look back
Let it shape you like an ocean
Even the deepest scars
In time will fade

[Chorus]
And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone (Still waiting)
The never-ending nights when you're awake (Still waiting)
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
There will be a time to crack another smile (Still waiting)
Maybe not today or for a while (Still waiting)
But we're holding on to laugh again some day
Yeah, we're holding on to laugh again some day

[Bridge]
And sometimes you have to go back
To know just where you have been
But we're old enough to know that
What has been will be again
And again, oh-uh-oh

And the bravest of faces
Are the ones where we fake it
In the roles that we play
[Chorus]
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay awhile
You'll be ready then to laugh again

[Outro]
Nothing matters but the pain (We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
Nothing matters but the pain
You see what you want to see
Nothing matters but the pain (We are misery and distant memories)
Nothing matters but the pain
We all learn to laugh again
Yeah, we all learn to laugh again
Oh, we will learn to laugh again
