Same ol song

(Verse 1)I remember when the story startedYou held me close and I was open-heartedBut somewhere down the line the pages turnedI was left to handle all the bridges burnedYou step into the dark, your mind starts to raceAnd I’m the one left running in the very same placeLike a hamster on a wheel, round and round we goI should have seen the ending a long time ago.(Pre-Chorus)Love had me blinded, I bought every lieEvery promise that you whispered, looking in my eyeYou flip and you change the script on a dimeBreaking my trust and taking my time.(Chorus)Oh, it’s the same ol’ song, playing in a loopJust a toxic little dance in a broken-down groupYou get good for a while, then you pull me apartLeaving me picking up the pieces of my heartBut I’m older now, and I’m out of my mindTired of begging you to treat me kindI’ve been waiting for the day to come cleanSo pack up your promises, 'cause I'm leaving the scene.(Verse 2)You swear you're gonna change when your back’s at the wallYou pick me right back up just to watch me fallThen the heavy mental fog starts to creep right inAnd we’re sitting at the start line all over againI’m tired of the begging, tired of the pleadGiving you everything, but what about my needs?You spin it around like it’s all in my headBut I'm done being haunted by the words that you said.(Chorus)Oh, it’s the same ol’ song, playing in a loopJust a toxic little dance in a broken-down groupYou get good for a while, then you pull me apartLeaving me picking up the pieces of my heartBut I’m older now, and I’m out of my mindTired of begging you to treat me kindI’ve been waiting for the day to come cleanSo pack up your promises, 'cause I'm leaving the scene.(Bridge)I poured out my soul to keep you afloatBut you were the anchor pulling down the boatI was blind to the cycle, blind to the painPraying the sunshine would wash out the rainBut a loop is a loop and a lie is a lieAnd I’m finally ready to look you in the eye.(Guitar/Instrumental Solo - building up to a strong finish)(Chorus)Oh, it’s the same ol’ song, playing in a loopJust a toxic little dance in a broken-down groupYou get good for a while, then you pull me apartLeaving me picking up the pieces of my heartBut I’m older now, and I’m out of my mindTired of begging you to treat me kindI’ve been waiting for the day to come cleanSo pack up your promises, 'cause I'm leaving the scene.(Outro)This time, it’s goodbyes for good.No more misunderstood.No more running on your wheel.I know how my heart should feel.The loop is broken...I'm finally free.
