We Laugh A Lot
We laugh a lot you and I At your expense and sometimes mineWe push and poke ignore cracked ribsLick our wounds hide bandagesI tried to love you righteouslyPromised myself I would not teaseAnd though I said I would not startI had to scratch your open heartWe laugh a lot you and I At your expense and sometimes mineWe push 'till we fall off the edgeAnd fear the things the other's saidWe scratch until the wounds are rawThen tenderly we wash them offWe claim that we are both alrightThen fall asleep curled up at nightWe laugh a lot you and I At your expense and sometimes mineIt's turned into a battle see Of who brings nicer miseryI know you love me I love youBut still our pride leaves us bruisedWe play chicken each time we talkDaring the other to give upWe laugh a lot you and I At your expense and sometimes mineSomeday we will have had enoughAnd let laughter tear us apart From Letras Mania
