I SHOULD BE LAUGHING
Patty Smyth

Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
And a photograph that's torn in half
And all that's left is me
And happily ever after darlin'
Well that came after I was gone
They tell you that, you can't go back
Then why can't I go on

When I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love disguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is falling, when I should be laughing

Sunsets like a painting
Windows like a frame
The night comes in and I begin
To see it all again

When I should be laughing at this joke
The damage done the words I spoke
Isn't it funny after all this time
Regret can find me when I should be laughing

I should be laughing at life and all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time and how fast it's slipping away

Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
With one last look I close the book
And let the past just be

'Cause I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love disguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is falling, when I should be laughing

Isn't it funny, I should be laughing
And isn't it funny
I should be laughing
La la la la la la
La la la la la la...

i heard this song again on my zen micro tonight.. and i thought i'd dedicate it to sam.. :p

it doesn't really apply to me. not anymore, i guess. though yeah, there was a time when it did apply. thankfully, that phase is over. *sigh* but still, one can never be too sure. so i'm keeping my fingers crossed..

'coz i'm smiling now. and yes, even laughing. in spite of the really hectic and busy schedule. in spite of my hoarse voice and tired body. in spite of lots of uncertainty. in spite of paranoia. in spite of so many other things. yup.. i can laugh now.

i hope i'll always be able to..


postscript:
students touie & karl really made me laugh this afternoon, haha. guess i owe them my good mood when i went to meralco. if it hadn't been for their crazy antics, i would've stayed paranoid hahaha. thanx, guys. good luck in your finals :p
