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
