The Same Old Tears On A New Background
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's The Same Old Tears On A New Background,
Seeing you as a fading photograph
It hurts too much to laugh these days.
I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right.
It's the same old song with a new melody,
But this old candle's lingering flame is almost gone,
To see you again is all that keeps me hangin' on.
I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right.
Remembering, remembering the familiar heartache,
No one but you?
It's the same old me crying the same old tears
And I walk away like I always do
Still in love with you.
But I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right.
All right?
