Same Old Story lyrics

[Intro]

Bruv, I don't wanna listen to her

And she don't wanna listen to me

Last week we're talkin' together forever

This week, more fish in the sea

Shit's just killin' me, G

[Chorus]

I had the perfect picture

It was all laid out for me

But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam

'Cause it's the same old story

Same old questions, what's your body count?

Who were you linkin' before me?

And I hope she don't ask me back

'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

[Verse 1]

I've run out of excuses

The truth is I'm so cold, I'm so frozen

Too many times my heart has been broken

And I can't even do the fake love, there ain't no pretendin'

Thought that I found my partner-in-crime, my co-defendant

But it's like watchin' a film and you already know the endin'

See me, I think I think too much

Try to keep it short and sweet but I say too much

Now she wanna go back and forth, she wanna play two touch

It's back to square one

Both said things that shouldn't have been said

Did things that shouldn't have been done

Wish I could turn back time, man, I wish that I could get a rerun, 'cause...

[Chorus]

I had the perfect picture

It was all laid out for me

But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam

'Cause it's the same old story

Same old questions, what's your body count?

Who were you linkin' before me?

And I hope she don't ask me back

'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

I had the perfect picture

It was all laid out for me

But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam

'Cause it's the same old story

Same old questions, what's your body count?

Who were you linkin' before me?

And I hope she don't ask me back

'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

[Verse 2]

Said she loved me 'cause I wasn't like the rest

I rock and roll, I don't like the stress

Now the friendship's based on how quick I reply to text

She's talkin' reckless, I gotta bite my tongue

Don't wanna say anything I might regret

Died a thousand deaths

Man, I wore so much Ed Hardy, how could I forget?

That love kills slowly

Still, everybody tryna do holy matrimony

More time, one of them needs a trophy

And the other one's scared to be lonely

Every day another one falls off

They link the wrong ting and got way too cosy

Valentine's Day, it's all sweet and rosy

Spend every other day just tryna score points like Kobe

Nobody wants to lose but the winner gets nothin'

Spent summer time stuntin'

Then winter time comes, everybody starts cuffin'

You know love takes time

But relationship goals got everyone rushin'

You get a feelin' it's way too good to be true

So now you just tryna find somethin'

Tryna find a reason

Friends askin' me how I'm doin'

I said, "Same shit, different season"

My ex got a new boyfriend, I'm just tryna get even

We don't hate each other, no, we just came to the end of the road

She went one direction, I went the other

Guess I gotta find me a new lover

[Chorus]

I had the perfect picture

It was all laid out for me

But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam

'Cause it's the same old story

Same old questions, what's your body count?

Who were you linkin' before me?

And I hope she don't ask me back

'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

I had the perfect picture

It was all laid out for me

But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam

'Cause it's the same old story

Same old questions, what's your body count?

Who were you linkin' before me?

And I hope she don't ask me back

'Cause my life like an episode of Maury
