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
