Bad Love Story

Kris Kristofferson · Surreal Thing [1976]

(Kris Kristofferson)



Once again you tried to show me what my eyes refused to see

In the lines between the painful scene we're in

With the silence falling coldly on a world of make believe

And the ending that I still don't understand.



It's a bad love story that I've had to learn my heart

'Cause I've lived these lines so many times before

And it's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart

Where the lady still don't love me anymore.



--- Instrumental ---



I can see the truth before me like a mirror on the wall

With a crack or two for ever fool I've been

And I see the lady waitin' for her count down curtain calls

And it's looking like the place that I came in.



It's a bad love storystory that I've had to learn my heart

'Cause I've lived these lines so many times before

And it's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart

Where the lady still don't love me anymore.



It's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart

Where the lady still don't love me anymore...
