Sense of Humor

You need to have a sense of humor
When you're with someone like you
Yes, I've heard the latest rumor
I'm hoping it's not true

You need a talent for denial
And for turning a blind eye
When to put on your fake smile
So the world won't see you cry

And you need skin that's like a rhino
You need to be as tough as nails
Now I called everyone that I know
But I spared them the details

Without benefit of hindsight
You need to have a backup plan
You need to know when the time's right
To start packing up the van

You need to know what you're afraid of
You need the patience of a saint
You need to know what you're made of
Who you are and who you ain't

You need to know when someone's lying
And I could never tell
But even though my heart is dying
I really wish you well
