Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
A man tells a joke
Everyone laughed so hard
He repeated the same joke
People's laughter began to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
He told it again, the crowd fell silent
Not a single person left laughing
He smiled softly and then he said
"The same old joke, you don't laugh at it"
[Chorus]
So why do we stay with the same sad story?
Over and over, it breaks our hearts
If the old joke can't make us smile
Then why do we let the pain last so long?
[Instrumental solo]
[Verse 2]
We walk the path that's so familiar
Face the pain we know so well
If we don't change the story we tell
How can we find joy in a new day?
[Pre-Chorus]
He told it again, the crowd fell silent
Not a single person left laughing
He smiled softly and then he said
"The same old joke, you don't laugh at it"
[Chorus]
So why do we stay with the same sad story?
Over and over, it breaks our hearts
If the old joke can't make us smile
Then why do we let the pain last so long?
[Instrumental solo]
[Chorus]
So why do we stay with the same sad story?
Over and over, it breaks our hearts
If the old joke can't make us smile
Then why do we let the pain last so long?
[Instrumental solo]
[Bridge]
Look ahead, let your heart breathe
Release the sorrow, embrace a new life
We don't have to cling to the old story
To let our hearts find a fresh start
[Chorus]
So why do we stay with the same sad story?
Over and over, it breaks our hearts
If the old joke can't make us smile
Then why do we let the pain last so long?
[Instrumental solo]
[Chorus]
So why do we stay with the same sad story?
Over and over, it breaks our hearts
If the old joke can't make us smile
Then why do we let the pain last so long?
[Instrumental solo]
[Outro]
Don't let the old story hurt your heart
Let it go and start anew
For life has beautiful tales to tell
Waiting for us to discover
[Instrumental solo]
[Instrumental fade]
[Instrumental end]
