Ever since the world began
The same old story ran
Girl leaves boy and boy leaves girl
And he stumbles through the streets
She turns between the sheets
Just the same old tragedy
Tell her, tell me
Oh baby, why don't you see
I can't get you out of my head
Wait, don't turn away
Why don't you stay
It's all the same
Wait, don't turn away
I beg you to stay
Repeating tales
This ain't how the story ends
He takes another chance
Can't give up so easily
But they fight and fight again
The struggle never ends
And broken glass can cut so deep
Tell her, tell me
Oh baby, why don't you see
I can't get you out of my head
Wait, don't turn away
Why don't you stay
It's all the same
Wait, don't turn away
I beg you to stay
Repeating tales
Wait, please wait
It is never too late to be sorry
Just another twist in the story
Wait, don't turn away
Why don't you stay
It's all the same
Wait, don't turn away
I beg you to stay
Repeating tales
