Song：I Started A Joke
Artist²：张韶涵

I started a joke
which started the whole³ world crying
but I didn't see  oh no...
that the joke was⁴ on me  oh no...
I started to cry
which started the whole world laughing
oh, if I'd only seen⁵
that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
running⁶ my hands over my eyes
and I fell⁷ out of bed
hurting my head from things that I'd said⁸
Till⁹ I finally¹⁰ died¹¹
which started the whole world living¹²
oh, if I'd only seen
that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
running my hands over my eyes
and I fell out of bed
hurting my head from things that I'd said
Till I finally died
which started the whole world living
oh, if I'd only seen
that the joke was one me oh no...
that the joke was one me......
