Seems  like the broken  heart the loving  part is missing
 As the drama  unfolds she’s lost  the art of loving
 Nowhere is where  she goes to find  her piece of nothing
 Seems like she’s had  enough but she’s always  up to something
 and the rest follow the same pattern. here are the lyrics as close as i can figure them out....
 And now as the story goes another day is dying
 She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
 It wasn’t so long ago she had me so temptated
 And with no obligation I was feeling so sedated
 Now I’m left pretty dumb and every bit retarded
 Now the fires that burn are more than what she started
 And now as the story goes another day is dying
 She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
 Is this the show of shows is that all she’s thinking
 And maybe I told her so I’m thankful that I’m living
 Another day in the past and every hour I’m haunting
 Everybody is wearing a mask playing skip-to-my-lou my darling
 And now as the story goes another day is dying
 She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
 Away
 No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
 Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
 More less love and somehow she was lying
 Time after time she gave it all away without trying
 Death can take you to arrive like a bird that’s falling
 No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
 Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
 Like rain upon an open grave

And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
It wasn’t so long ago she had me so temptated
And with no obligation I was feeling so sedated

Now I’m left pretty dumb and every bit retarded
Now the fires that burn are more than what she started
And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing

Is this the show of shows is that all she’s thinking
And maybe I told her so I’m thankful that I’m living
Another day in the past and every hour I’m haunting
Everybody is wearing a mask playing skip-to-my-lou my darling

And now as the story goes another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes and in disgrace she’s laughing
Away

No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
More less love and somehow she was lying
Time after time she gave it all away without trying
Death can take you to arrive like a bird that’s falling
No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
Like rain upon an open grave
