Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You cut with a grin
Like it’s nothing at all
Every joke lands first
Then I see the fall
You talk in sharp lines
But I know that look
You hide in the punchline
Like a page in a book
[Pre-Chorus]
And I stayed a little longer
Than I meant to stay
Saw the crack in your armor
When you turned away
[Chorus]
Behind the jokes
I saw your heart
Behind the jokes
You fell apart
Those walls were loud
Till they came down
Behind the jokes
I found you now
(Behind the jokes)
[Verse 2]
You’d roll your eyes fast
When the room got too real
Like if you laughed first
No one could see you feel
I watched the whole thing
Every careful move
You built that cool so high
It had nothing left to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
But one night you went quiet
And the truth came through
I saw the scared part
That was carrying you
[Chorus]
Behind the jokes
I saw your heart
Behind the jokes
You fell apart
Those walls were loud
Till they came down
Behind the jokes
I found you now
(Behind the jokes)
[Bridge]
Now you don’t have to
Fence your soul in
I like the real you
More than the defense
Say it crooked
Say it rough
You don’t need armor
To be enough
[Chorus]
Behind the jokes
I saw your heart
Behind the jokes
You fell apart
Those walls were loud
Till they came down
Behind the jokes
I found you now
(Behind the jokes)
