[Verse 1]
When in a room full of people I know
So tell me why do I feel so alone
They think they know me
But they only see me when I’m smiling, smiling
They love the girl who’s good for a laugh
But what they see is only a mask
And nobody asks if the other of me is dying, dying

[Chorus]
But when I’m in my room and I’m by myself
I don’t have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I’ve been crying, crying
Crying, crying

[Verse 2]
And when I play I’m the happiest one
I sing and dance till the live cast is gone
But after they go
Only I know that I’ve been lying, lying
In this every day game of pretend
I always wind up in another dead end
Cause I do it too well
So no one can tell that I’ve been hiding, hiding

[Chorus]
Yeah when I’m in my room and I’m by myself
I don’t have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I’ve been crying, crying
Crying, crying

[Bridge]
Crying, crying, crying, crying
I guess the joke is on me
The joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me
The joke is on me

[Chorus]
Yeah when I’m in my room and I’m by myself
I don’t have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I’ve been crying, crying
Crying, crying
Oh crying crying, crying, crying

[Outro]
I guess the joke is on me
Oh the joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me
Oh the joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me
