You say so much
With your silence
Just a little bit of real talk
And I don't mind it
But driving through suburbia
I caught you crying
Yeah, what are you hiding?
You're living proof
It's all the same
Tears and laughter
I'm here for you
Your secret's safe
Now and after
You keep it real
The nerves are raw
And someday this'll all be gone
But now we're living it
And I'm listening
To tears and laughter
You took a turn
For the worse
With one last stair to climb
An alarm went off
And called the nurse
And light flooded your mind
Was I too late late
Or just too vague?
'Cause I would have done anything
But you reminded me
It's really just all the same
You're living proof
It's all the same
Tears and laughter
I'm here for you
Your secret's safe
Now and after
You keep it real
The nerves are raw
And someday this'll all be gone
But now we're living it
And I'm listening
To tears and laughter
