"Bad Love Story" lyrics - KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
"Bad Love Story"

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

[Chorus:]
It's a bad love story
That I've had to learn by 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

I can see the truth before me
Like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for every fool I've been
And I see the lady waiting
For her count-down curtain call
And it's looking like the place that I came in

[Chorus:]
It's a bad love story
That I've had to learn by 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
