Same Old Story

Skepta

Bruv, I don′t wanna listen to her
And she don't wanna listen to me
Last week we′re talking together foreverThis week, more fish in the sea
Shit's just killing me, G

I had the perfect picture
It was all laid out for me
But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam
′Cause it′s the same old story
Same old questions, what's your body count?
Who were you linking before me?
And I hope she don′t ask me back
'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

I′ve run out of excuses
The truth is I'm so cold, I′m so frozen
Too many times my heart has been broken
And I can't even do the fake love
There ain't no pretending
Thought that I found my partner-in-crime, my co-defendant
But it′s like watchin′ a film and you already know the ending
See me, I think I think too much
Try to keep it short and sweet but I say too much

Now she wanna go back and forth
She wanna play two touch
It's back to square one
Both said things that shouldn′t have been said
Did things that shouldn't have been done
Wish I could turn back time
Man, I wish that I could get a rerun, ′cause

I had the perfect picture
It was all laid out for me
But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam
′Cause it's the same old story
Same old questions, what's your body count?
Who were you linking before me?
And I hope she don′t ask me back
′Cause my life like an episode of Maury

I had the perfect picture
It was all laid out for me
But I feel like I'm in love with the pain, fam
′Cause it's the same old story
Same old questions, what′s your body count?
Who were you linking before me?
And I hope she don't ask me back
′Cause my life like an episode of Maury

Said she loved me 'cause I wasn't like the rest
I rock and roll, I don′t like the stress
Now the friendship′s based on how quick I reply to text
She's talking reckless
I gotta bite my tongue
Don′t wanna say anything I might regret
Died a thousand deaths

Man, I wore so much Ed Hardy, how could I forget?
That love kills slowly
Still, everybody tryna do holy matrimony
More time, one of them needs a trophy
And the other one's scared to be lonely
Every day another one falls off
They link the wrong thing and got way too cosy
Valentine′s Day, it's all sweet and rosy
Spend every other day just tryna score points like Kobe

Nobody wants to lose but the winner gets nothing
Spent summer time stunting
Then winter time comes, everybody starts cuffing
You know love takes time
But relationship goals got everyone rushing
You get a feeling it′s way too good to be true
So now you just tryna find something
Tryna find a reason
Friends asking me how I'm doing
I said: same shit, different season
My ex got a new boyfriend
I'm just tryna get even
We don′t hate each other
No, we just came to the end of the road
She went one direction, I went the other
Guess I gotta find me a new lover

I had the perfect picture
It was all laid out for me
But I feel like I′m in love with the pain, fam
'Cause it′s the same old story
Same old questions, what's your body count?
Who were you linking before me?
And I hope she don′t ask me back
'Cause my life like an episode of Maury

I had the perfect picture
It was all laid out for me
But I feel like I′m in love with the pain, fam
'Cause it's the same old story
Same old questions, what′s your body count?
Who were you linking before me?
And I hope she don′t ask me back
'Cause my life like an episode of Maury
