Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
Well, I’ve danced with the jokers, spun ‘round with the fools,
Got a PhD in heartbreak from these love-sick schools.
They play their little games like it’s some grand charade,
But I’m rolling my eyes at every masquerade.
With every awkward meetup, you’d think I’d learn by now,
But they always come back beggin' for my love. oh, wow!
So I’ll raise my glass high, toast to all the lost bets,
'Cause laughter's my armor—better place your regrets!
I choose laughter over tears, oh let 'em come and go!
These players can’t handle a heart made of gold.
I’ll crack up at the punchlines of their empty romance,
While they’re chasing their shadows—I’m dancing my dance!
I choose laughter over tears, oh let 'em come and go!
These players can’t handle a heart made of gold.
I’ll crack up at the punchlines of their empty romance,
While they’re chasing their shadows—I’m dancing my dance!
Met a smooth-talking Romeo in a coffee shop line,
He said he was “different,” oh boy was that blind!
Told me he’d treat me like queen on his velvet throne,
But he vanished by noon—guess he couldn’t handle alone.
Went out with Mr. Charming who bragged about his flair,
Thought we had fireworks but just static in the air.
Now I'm flipping through texts like an old paperback—
The only spark left is from that snack I just packed!
I choose laughter over tears; it’s how I’ll survive!
Their lines are so cheesy—no wonder they don’t thrive.
I’ll giggle at the memories of their romantic flip-flops,
While they’re stuck on repeat—I'm climbing to the top!
So here’s to all those nights filled with cringes and sighs,
To every clumsy kiss and each poorly-timed lie.
Like playing peek-a-boo with someone else's heart;
When it comes down to love—they forgot where to start.
Yeah, I choose laughter over tears; it's got its own flair!
With each joke and punchline—I’m light as air!
And when they say "What happened?" I'll smile ear-to-ear:
You see darling, I'm thriving—I’m done with your smear!
So keep your game faces on for your hearts full of charms;
I'll be here crafting joy while you pout and fold your arms.
In this wild ride called life where the players all roam—
I’ve found my sweet solace—and oh honey—it’s home!
