I see it through And hold on to what is left of you Same old story, same old song Goes all right, until it goes all wrong Now you're going, then you're gone Same old story, baby, same old song Same old story, same old song Now you're going and then, baby, Goes all wrong Now you're going and then you're gone Same old story, same old song
