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
