same old story line

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

you know i’ve seen this one before

and i know just how it ends

standing outside of my door

begging me to let you in

pre 1

cold rain starts to fall

just in time for you to call

and it’s easy to pretend

when the walls are closing in

again

chorus

the tears will fall from your eyes

sayin you’re done with the lies

i can’t ignore the signs

it’s the same old story

the same old story line

verse 2

it doesn’t matter anymore

cause the branch is too broken to mend

stuck in a dime-store metaphor

when all you wanted was a friend

pre 2
