who's laughing now


You told me
there would be regrets
that I was untrue to myself
and to others
but who’s laughing now?

You assured me
you were the one and only
that could make me happy
my only future
but who’s laughing now?

You threatened me
told me to change myself
or you couldn’t love me
threatened me with leaving
but who’s laughing now?

You begged me
to come back to you
that my new love was false
just someone to escape loneliness
but who’s laughing now?

I’m glad you did what you did
I’m glad you set me free
because who knows how much more pain
I would have endured
just to keep you happy?

I hope someone saves you too someday
shows you how love really should be
I hold no soft feelings about us
and yet no grudges anymore either
and besides,

Who’s laughing now?
