You let him by with another line again   And oh, each time he swears this hurting you   Is coming to an end but Lord knows   He'll never close the book on doing you wrong   'Cause every time you think it's over, don't take him very long      Before 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 living for yourself   'Cause all he's giving you is the same ol' story      Well, 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 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 living for yourself   'Cause all he's giving you is the same ol' story   Oh, the same ol', same ol' story
