Telling me the same old story 
When the storm grows 
I find your face behind your helpless hands 
When the cracks show 
In your mirrored mirrored eyes 
When the words come round So splintered and predictable again 
Then I find you 

Chorus: 
Telling me the same old story 
Stories of love 
Stories and lies 
Stories of love 
The same old story 

Telling me the same old story 

When the day goes 
I can hear you crying out behind your paper smile 
And the light that shines 
Won't give you strength to talk to me at all 
And the sound I hear 
Is not the sound I want to hear from you 
Cos you're always 

(Chorus) 

The same old story 
Telling me the same old story 
Telling me the same old story
