Lyrics The Same Old Story - Larry Norman

The Same Old Story

Now it’s the same old story and the same old stage
Though the cast is different and you’re looking at a different page
All the lines seem familiar as you try to memorize your part
And when you finally meet the lady you know she’s gonna break your heart
Now it’s the same old story though you approach it from a different place
And the lady is lovely she wears such a beautiful face
You’re in love with the lady and you know she’s gonna break your heart
It’s the same old story
Just read between the lines
Your heart will end up broken
And you’ll tell your self that love is just a state of mind
Well it’s the same old story and you know just how it’s gonna end
You’re gonna wind up losing so there’s no reason to pretend
But you go through the motions and you tell her that you’ll never part
You say your love will last forever but you know she’s gonna break your heart
