I just don't get it
What does she see in him?
They're nothing like we were
Damn he's so small town
She's such a city girl
I'm absolutely sure he's not the one for her
But still he gets to kiss the queen
While I'm down here on my own
He sits next to her like her king
While I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary
He's such bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close

He'll be kissing his queen
I'll just walk home alone
He's her new everything
So that makes me the average joe

I thought we were the real thing
We were just one wedding ring short
Of a once in a life time love
Well, now that it's over
I just don't understand
How she thinks they compare to us
He'll never be good enough
But still he gets to kiss the queen
While I'm down here on my own
He sits next to her like her king
While I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary
He's such bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close

He'll be kissing his queen
I'll just walk home alone
He's her new everything
That makes me the average joe

Now I'm a punch line
I'm the story that everyone knows
Of how even the invisible
Can become an average joe

No more kissing the queen
I'll never sit on the throne
Right next to her like her king
I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary
He's such bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close

He'll be kissing his queen
I'll just walk home alone
He's her new everything
That makes me the average joe
