Same Old Story

same old story as ever told before
girl meet boy they fall in love
two months later shes with his buddy harry 
hasnt this tale been told enough

wreckless smiles cloud a misty hallway
as our hero walks into her deadly trap
chained to a cross as she taunts him with his best friend
as the ground crumbles beneath his feet

mother please will you wake me from this nightmare
lock me away far far from here
dreams become useless at a certain distance
like a crosshair on a gun

same old story as ever told before
girl meet boy they fall in love
two months later shes with his buddy harry 
hasnt this tale been told enough


just the same old story


just the same old story
