Lyrics
Same Old Story
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.
Telling me the same old story
When the storm grows
I find your face behind your helpless hands
When the cracks show
In your mirrored mirrored eyes
When the words come round So splintered and predictable again
Then I find you
Chorus:
Telling me the same old story
Stories of love
Stories and lies
Stories of love
The same old story
Telling me the same old story
When the day goes
I can hear you crying out behind your paper smile
And the light that shines
Won't give you strength to talk to me at all
And the sound I hear
Is not the sound I want to hear from you
Cos you're always
(Chorus)
The same old story
Telling me the same old story
Telling me the same old story
