Don't fall to pieces babe
On this lonely stage
You're a character

Turn and run away
Don't fall to pieces babe
You know we're all the same

We want our problems solved
It's why we get involved


But I notice every time
I'm the fool you run to
When the latest on the line

Ain't what it's cracked up to be

And I know what you're going to say

I know your storyline, storyline
Girl meets boy then she runs away
Across a borderline, borderline

And I know the role you want me to play
I'm the fool you run to
Cause every time you fall to pieces babe

It's the same old storyline
The same old line


Your expectations babe
Are far too great
Ain't a man I know who can bear the load

And every tragedy merely punctuates
Your happiness so I anticipate


But I notice every time
I'm the fool you run to
When the latest on the line

Ain't what it's cracked up to be

And I know what you're going to say

I know your storyline, storyline
Girl meets boy then she runs away
Across a borderline, borderline

And I know the role you want me to play
I'm the fool you run to
Cause every time you fall to pieces babe

It's the same old storyline...
It's the same old storyline...
The same old line


And I know what you're going to say
I know your storyline, storyline

Girl meets boy then she runs away
Across a borderline, borderline
And I know the role you want me to play

I'm the fool you run to
Cause every time you fall to pieces babe
It's the same old storyline

Story, story
Used to love your stories,
Oh not now

Story, story, your story
But no not now
Used to love your stories,

Oh not now
Story, story, your story
But no not now
