You let him by with another line again
And oh each time he swears this hurtin' you
Is comin' to an end but Lord knows
He'll never close the book on doin' you wrong
'Cause every time you think it's over it don't take him very longBefore he writes another page to the same ol' story
No it don't ever change and you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf and start livin' for yourself
'Cause all he's givin' you is the same ol' storyWell, any fool can tell just where it's gonna end
And he'll keep adding more and more to the pain he's put you in
Can't you see this ain't the fairy tale you built your love upon
'Cause front to back, cover to cover
He's just leading your heart on as heWrites another page to the same ol' story
No it don't ever change and you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf and start livin' for yourself
'Cause all he's givin' you is the same ol' story
Oh, the same ol' same ol' story
