Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak

Love went away, gave me the sack
Love took off, how I wish it would come back
Oh love, sometimes you’re such a fake
A comic tale of tragic heartbreak

Sexual favors for a hidden fee
Shotgun in his face, pants around his knees
She threw the keys
to the bottom of the lake
Comic tales of tragic heartbreak
What’s a happy ending anyway
Just something that turns sad one day
So you go on living like everything’s ok
Even though your tragic face is right there on display
such a display

Oh it’s funny when it happen to some other fool
But it’s tragic when love knocks you off your barstool
You’re burning up, oh the ache
This comic tale of tragic heartbreak

It’s not tragic, it’s ridiculous
We lost it all, what’s the big fuss
Someone tell me there’s something more at stake
Besides a comic tale of tragic heartbreak

Will you stop behaving like a kid
Is this the hardest thing you ever did? Behind the church you hid
And watched the bride
It was just your funny way of saying goodbye
It was just a silly day, how loud you cried
How hard you cried

Drink your 7UP with cyanide
All because your lover took you for a ride
Oh let it go, for goodness sake
It’s just a comic tale of tragic heartbreak

Children laugh at you and they don’t care
If you’re a clown or if you’re in despair
You feel invisible but everybody stares
At your comic tale of tragic heartbreak
