Same Old

Are you telling yourself
It’s all you’ll ever need
All you ever wanted
The stuff of your dreams

Are you lying to yourself
Just to get through the night
Then the day comes
And things aren’t right

Are you thinking to yourself
Where did I go wrong
Same old ending
To the same old song

Are you saying to yourself
I’m tired of this charade
There’s nothing I’ve got
And a soul I’ve paid

Are you asking yourself
How do I get back
How did I ever
Get so far off track
