Punchline's on Me

He met her at a date app
Thought she was a dream
But she turned out to be a nightmare
If you know what I mean
She loved to criticize his taste
In music and his clothes
Left him wondering why
He always chose the ones who
Made him feel alone

He tried to break the cycle
But the joke's on him
Every girl he found just
Pulled him deeper in
It's like a curse
A tragic comedy
He's the leading man
In his own sad parody

Why do I always fall
For the wrong girl?
She laughs at my jokes
But breaks my world
It's a twisted kind of funny
Can't you see?
I guess the punchline's always
On me

Then there was the artist
Painted his heart in black and blue
Said she loved his spirit but
Left him feeling used
She'd stay out late and come back home
With stories that were thin
He'd smile and nod
Knowing he'd been fooled again

He tried to break the cycle
But the joke's on him
Every girl he found just
Pulled him deeper in
It's like a curse
A tragic comedy
He's the leading man
In his own sad parody

Why do I always fall
For the wrong girl?
She laughs at my jokes
But breaks my world
It's a twisted kind of funny
Can't you see?
I guess the punchline's always on me

Maybe one day
He'll find a girl who'll treat him right
But until then
He's stuck in this laugh track life
He'll keep on smiling through the tears
Playing his part
In this romantic tragedy
That always breaks his heart

Why do I always fall
For the wrong girl?
She laughs at my jokes
But breaks my world
It's a twisted kind of funny
Can't you see?
I guess the punchline's always on me

So here's to the next girl
Whoever she may be
Let's hope she's kinder
And sets him free
But if not, he'll keep on
Living in this comedy
Where the joke's on him
Eternally
