Same Old Lies Won’t Work

Hybrid alt-pop rock with a splash of soul, Start sparse: dry drums, warm bass, slightly overdriven rhythm guitar, Pre-chorus adds airy synth pads and tambourine, Choruses explode with stacked male vocals, fuzzed lead guitar answering the hook, Bridge drops to half-time with filtered drums and distant reverb, then a final, punchy chorus with ad-libs and a guitar tail-out

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] You roll in late Same story Same excuse Wrong name on your tongue Lipstick on your truth You laugh it off Say I'm “too in my head” But I’ve heard this movie Frame for frame Line for line Till the end [Pre-Chorus] Every “baby I swear” Sounds like a rerun Used to get me to stay Now it just makes me run (hey) [Chorus] Same old lies won’t work anymore You wore out the words Left ’em dead on the floor Every promise you bend sounds just like before Same old Same old Won’t work anymore [Verse 2] You turn on tears Like a light in a room Water on cue But it dries way too soon You reach for my hands Like you always do But my heart’s already Three steps ahead of you [Pre-Chorus] Every “baby I’m changed” Is a scratched-up tape Spinning in circles But I finally found the escape [Chorus] Same old lies won’t work anymore You wore out the words Left ’em dead on the floor Every promise you bend sounds just like before Same old Same old Won’t work anymore [Bridge] You had your chances You spent ’em like spare change I gave you grace You traded it for games Now your tricks feel tired Your magic’s all smoke The spell you kept casting Just broke Just broke (oh) [Chorus] Same old lies won’t work anymore You wore out the words Left ’em dead on the floor Every promise you bend sounds just like before Same old Same old Won’t work anymore [Outro] Same old Same old Walkin’ out that door Same old Same old Doesn’t work anymore
