(Kris Kristofferson)

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.

It's a bad love story that I've had to learn my 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.

--- Instrumental ---

I can see the truth before me like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for ever fool I've been
And I see the lady waitin' for her count down curtain calls
And it's looking like the place that I came in.

It's a bad love storystory that I've had to learn my 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.

It's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart
Where the lady still don't love me anymore...
