Punchline
The Belle Brigade Lyrics

A long winter and a red hot summer
I have experienced different seasons, both good and bad.

I don't remember very much about that year
That particular year was not significant to me.

What I recall is a fear of falling in love
I was scared to fall in love and get hurt.

While I was
At that time.

I gave everything I had to my lover
I devoted myself entirely to my partner.

It's no wonder people felt that I disappeared
It's not surprising that people thought I vanished due to my devotion to my partner.

And at the end of the day all I had for myself
After giving everything to my partner, I had nothing left for myself at the end of the day.

Was my own lonesome tears
All I had were my own sorrowful tears to comfort me.

But I made her happy
Despite sacrificing everything for my partner, I still managed to make her happy.

And did that gladly
I was happy to make my partner happy.

But oh it don't mean a thing
However, that happiness doesn't matter anymore.

Yeah all that's over now
That relationship is now finished and in the past.

Me and my sister went to Arizona
My sister and I traveled to Arizona.

Seeing our mom while she was fighting her disease
We visited our mother who was battling an illness.

And doing what everybody said she needed
We followed the advice of others to help our mother recover.

So she could come home
Our goal was to enable our mother to return home.

And it was late in the night when I called you
I contacted you late at night.

One in the morning right outside of a motel
It was 1 am and I was outside a motel at the time.

Just checking in to tell you I was scared
I contacted you to express my fears and anxiety.

And that I felt
I believed that.

You didn't love me
I didn't think you loved me the way I loved you.

You said you love me honey
However, you claimed that you loved me.

Oh it don't mean a thing
But those words don't have any significance anymore.

Now when I dream all I see
In my dreams now, all I can see is you.

Is you being untrue to me
In my dreams, you are unfaithful to me.

Telling lies, shaking hands
You are dishonest and insincere in my dreams.

Having laughs over and over again
You and others are laughing at my expense repeatedly in my dreams.

The punchline of a joke I am
In my dreams, I am the butt of a joke.

Oh it don't mean a thing
However, those dreams now hold no meaning to me.

Yeah all that's over
That relationship and those dreams are now in the past.

But it don't mean a thing
But then again, none of it really matters now.
