The Same Old Story - Larry Norman

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
