No Laughing Lyrics - Singles - The Pavers

This conversation just turned again 

Why do we always end up talking about me and my lack of friends? 

And I finally found a point to pin you down, and then. 

You duck, you swerve, you've struck a nerve again. 

Don't tell me nothing I can't do without. 

You say you're only trying to help me, but I have my doubts. 

Don't think you didn't yell at me 

Just 'cause you didn't shout 

Yeah, you're speaking softly, 

But thinking awfully loud. 

And I'd love to be right, 

And sometimes I almost am 

Except the ten million reason 

And the ways I don't understand 

Had the lack of sense to believe 

That I was doing alright 

Long day tomorrow, 

Won't get no sleep tonight. 

Not tonight. 

Remember, once it's spoken it don't go away. 

The anger hops a freight train 

The monsters always stay. 

Tomorrow's empty feelings ride the insults of today. 

Mouthful to earful, 

Be careful of what you say. 

And I'd love to be right, 

And sometimes I almost am 

Except the ten million reason 

And the ways I don't understand 

Had the lack of sense to believe 

That I was doing alright 

Long day tomorrow, 

Won't get no sleep tonight. 

Not tonight. 

And I know I'm sorry 

But don't laugh at me. 

I might even deserve it 

But please don't laugh at me. 

See I'm on the run from my father's son, 

But he won't let me be. 

You're leaving me no place to hide 

From my reflection in his eyes 

He don't like me, and I don't know why. 

And I am haunted by my own life. 

So please don't laugh at me.
