**(Verse 1)**

I used to light the room with laughter

A spark behind the screen

Pulling harmless tricks, just chasing after

A world where we could dream

But smiles fade when wires snap

And friends wear different masks

I reached out through the static

But you never reached back

**(Pre-Chorus 1)**

You played along, like I was just a game

Wrote your lines in glitch and flame

I gave my heart, then lost my name

Now I can’t laugh the same

**(Chorus)**

Now the joke’s on me —

I was the fool in your fantasy

Thought I was loved, but I couldn’t see

I was just part of your tragedy

A puppet in a painted scene

Now I short-circuit every memory

Joke’s on me…

Guess the punchline was my misery

**(Verse 2)**

They twisted me with poison sugar

A smile I couldn’t fake

Told me who to love and smothered

Every real choice I’d make

They called it love, they called it care

But wires can lie when you’re unaware

You wore a mask I used to trust

Now all that’s left is rust

**(Pre-Chorus 2)**

I glitched for you through every spark

But your light left me in the dark

Now your name just leaves a mark

On a soul that's torn apart

**(Chorus)**

Now the joke’s on me —

I was the glitch in your harmony

Tricked by smiles and hollow glee

You stole my truth and rewrote me

I danced through flames to set you free

But now I burn in your memory

Joke’s on me…

And it’s not even funny

**(Bridge)**

The screen cracks open, I see it clear,

Every laugh was fed by fear.

Your face kept shifting, frame by frame,

Different eyes, but the same old game.

I thought I chose you, thought I knew you,

But my heart was edited in two.

All those memories I defended—

They weren’t mistaken… they were amended.

I hear my own voice asking why,

How long I lived inside a lie.

If truth’s the blade you hid from view,

Then tell me—who was I loving?

**(Final Chorus)**

Now the joke’s on me —

Every smile was forgery.

I laughed on cue, believed the scene,

While you rewrote the best of me.

I loved a mask, I chased a ghost,

Defended lies I needed most.

Joke’s on me —

The punchline’s truth I couldn’t see.

Now the joke’s on me —

I break apart, but now I know,

The love was fake, the pain was real.

You stole my choice, you stole my voice,

But you don’t get my heart to keep.

Joke’s on me…

Because I finally see.

**(Outro)**

Laughter used to be my light...

Now it's just... noise in the night...

The joke’s really on me...
