Once again you tried to show me

What my eyes refused to see

In the lines between the painful scene we're in

With the silence falling coldly

On a world of make-believe

And the ending that I still don't understand



Chorus:

It's a bad love story

That I've had to learn by heart

'Cause I've lived these lines so many times before

And it's a shame the way the same old ending

Still tears me apart

Where the lady still don't love me anymore



I can see the truth before me

Like a mirror on the wall

With a crack or two for every fool I've been

And i see the lady waiting

For her count-down curtain call

And it's looking like the place that I came in



Chorus:

It's a bad love story

That I've had to learn by heart

'Cause I've lived these lines so many times before

And it's a shame the way the same old ending

Still tears me apart

Where the lady still don't love me anymore
