It's the same old tears On a new background Seeing you as a faded photograph It hurts too much to laugh, these days But I'm alright Yes, I'm alright I'm alright It's the same old song With a new melody This old candle's lingering flame Is almost gone To see you again is all that keeps me hanging on But I'm alright Yes, I'm alright I'm alright Remembering, remembering The familiar heartache And no one but you Could ever make this dream come true 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 alright Yes, I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright Yes, I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright
