lyrics

I never thought I’d aim this high just to feel so low
I never thought I’d laugh this hard at your TV shows
I never thought I’d hold it back so you’ll never know
I’m sick of it all

Don’t forget to tell me which of those crumbs are mine
Don’t forget to send to Hell what I call divine
And don’t forget to loosen all of those ties that bind
‘Cause I love the fall

Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Crush me while I’m low
And then I’ll lighten up

Honey, could you listen a little less patiently?
Honey, could you drown me out when I disagree?
‘Cause honey, being out of place is the place to be
You can’t prove me wrong

‘Cause every time I go this way I’m going down
And every time I get a taste of a turnaround
Every time you throw a line when I need to drown
I’ll be singing this song

Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Crush me while I’m low
And then I’ll lighten up

Just treat me like a joke


Never thought you’d try to right what I’ve done so wrong
Never thought I’d stay this put where I don’t belong
Never thought I’d make you smile and never quite this long
I think that’s enough

Honey, could you listen a little less patiently?
Honey, could you drown me out when I disagree?
‘Cause honey, being out of place is the place to be
And that’s what I love

Treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Crush me while I’m low
And then I’ll lighten up

Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Just treat me like a joke
Crush me while I’m low
And then I’ll lighten up
