THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
I don't write to you anymore
because I don't know what to say
when I think of you the same sad song
is all I hear play

if I wrote to you all I would do
is write the same old song again
and I don't want to write the same sad song
over and over again

you proved to me you don't care about me
you showed me clearly you will hurt me
given half a chance
and that is why I don't write to you
you would destroy my faith in romance

you proved to me you don't want to know me
you showed me too well you would kill me
if I stayed near you
and that is why I don't find new words
to express the same old things you do

you erased the soundtrack of my life
you erased the smiles I gave to you
and I gave you control of everything
everything that was real and true

you destroyed my faith in my belief
that I could trust myself to perceive
you left me to die, and that is why
this is all you can receive

this is all you left me
the same old song
the same sad song that I was singing
when you came along

this is all you gave me
the same old words
the same sad song, the sorry stinging
the pain and promise broken
all too often heard

and I don't want to hear it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to play it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to feel it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to live it anymore
the same sad song

you proved...
you showed...
you erased...
you destroyed...


you erased the soundtrack of my life
you beat up the smiles I gave to you
and I gave you control of everything
everything that was real and true

you destroyed my faith in my belief
that I could trust myself to perceive
you left me to die, and that is why
this is all you can receive

this is all you left me
the same old song
the same sad song

and I don't want to hear it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to play it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to feel it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to live it anymore
the same sad song


I'd like to remember you
better than this
but all I have from you
are things I miss
all that ever matter to me is gone
and this sad song just carries on

so I try not to think
or write about you
hoping time will heal and
give me more to do
so maybe someday I'll remember you well
someday when I find my way out of this hell


shhhhhhhh...
let the silence become
the same old song that keeps you numb
so you don't have to feel what you've done
so you don't have to face what you've become
so you don't have to run
you don't have to run
  you don't have to run...


and I don't want to hear it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to play it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to feel it anymore
the same sad song
and I don't want to live it anymore
the same sad song



The Same Sad Song
(Why)
