[00:06.11]I got a lot from my mother
[00:09.50]Her eyes and her sense of humor
[00:12.87]So when she told me Dad had cancer
[00:16.04]I asked, "How big's the tumor?"
[00:19.57]"'Cause insurance gives out more money
[00:22.52]You can finally buy that new car
[00:25.75]And sure, you're gonna lose your husband
[00:29.26]But you can kiss strangers at the bar"
[00:33.58]And oh, then I cried
[00:39.38]Such a poorly timed punchline
[00:46.76]I keep using comedy when no one thinks it's funny
[00:53.08]To make light of all the tragedy, the things I'm scared to stomach
[00:59.17]'Cause what a cruel reality if this song outlives my dad
[01:06.22]And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
[01:12.72]I tell him that he's getting skinny
[01:16.06]Just had to go and steal my thunder
[01:19.34]As the sick one in the family
[01:22.78]I'm the daughter with the eating disorder
[01:26.45]I won't have him at my wedding
[01:29.39]Threw a wrench in all my plans
[01:32.52]To use my special day as leverage
[01:35.98]And force him into a dance
[01:39.74]I keep using comedy when no one thinks it's funny
[01:46.09]To make light of all the tragedy, the things I'm scared to stomach
[01:52.35]'Cause what a cruel reality if this song outlives my dad
[01:59.43]And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
[02:06.57]I keep using comedy and maybe that's my problem
[02:12.78]That I make light of the tragedy, but this time I don't wanna
[02:18.95]'Cause what a cruel reality that this song outlives my dad
[02:26.16]And there's no joke I can make to bring him back
[02:33.06]Hey Catie, it's me, just wanted to see how you're doing
[02:35.75]Love you, bye
