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
