Somewhere in a scrapbook

There's rose you gave to me

And a photograph that's torn in half

And all that's left is me

And happily ever after darlin'

Well that came after I was gone

They tell you that, you can't go back

Then why can't I go on

When I should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love disguised as hope

Isn't it funny after all this time

A tear is falling, when I should be laughing

Sunsets like a painting

Windows like a frame

The night comes in and I begin

Too see it all again

When I should be laughing at this joke

The damage done the words I spoke

Isn't it funny after all this time

Regret can find me when I should be laughing

I should be laughing at life and all of the tricks that it plays

I should be laughing at time and how fast it's slipping away

Somewhere in a scrapbook

There's a rose you gave to me

With one last look I close the book

And let the past just be

Cause I should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love disguised as hope

Isn't it funny after all this time

A tear is falling, when I should be laughing

Isn't it funny, I should be laughing

And isn't it funny

I should be laughing

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la
