the same old tears on a new background

it's the same old tears on a new background

seeing you as a fading photograph

it hurts too much to laugh these days. i'm all right

yes

i'm all right

all right. it's the same old song with a new melody

but this old candle's lingering flame is almost gone

to see you again is all that keeps me hangin' on. i'm all right

yes

i'm all right

all right. remembering

remembering the familiar heartache

no one but you

it's the same old me crying the same old tears

and i walk away like i always do

still in love with you. but i'm all right

yes

i'm all right

all right. all right
