Same Old Story
[Verse 1]
One day you set my sights
Set 'em for the sky
Believed in me and what I could be
What a waste of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Couldn't afford the shoes
I couldn't be like you
I didn't choose this life
You said it in front of me
I want an apology or I'll punch out your lights
[Chorus]
Same old story
And yeah, a little bit boring, yeah
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mindless games that you would play
Now play in my mind
Points of views that you would use
Are as useless as your life, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I anyway?
A victim of child's play
One step from suicide
Abundance of fortitude, monstrous attitude, is all
That's kept me alive, yeah
[Chorus]
Same old story
And yeah, a little bit boring, yeah
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry, yeah
[Verse 3]
Hey what, say what, tell me what you want
I don't really give a damn
No way, not today, it doesn't matter anyway
Too late, you should have thought about it then! Yeah!
[Chorus]
Same old story
And yeah, a little bit boring, yeah
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry, yeah
Tried to conform me
[Verse 4]
Look down, turn around
Get up - knocked you back down
Wanna play? Well, let's play then
"Stop" - why, you gonna cry?
Maybe you just ought to die?
Man, this ain't about the pretend!
One day you set my sights
Set 'em for the sky
Believed in me and what I could be
What a waste of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Couldn't afford the shoes
I couldn't be like you
I didn't choose this life
You said it in front of me
I want an apology or I'll punch out your lights
[Chorus]

And yeah, a little bit boring, yeah
Tried to conform me
And now you're starting to worry, yeah
