The Same Face Songtext

von Paul Cleary

It's the same face
With a bitter smile and a broken heart
Act one begins like many do
Boy meets girl and they stumble into love
That's when the danger signs are few
Centre stage as they thank the Gods above

It's the same face
With a bitter smile and a broken heart
Sorry I know
But I wrote the play and played a part

Act two lets others have their turn
Insecurity, jealousy and lies
Now watch the flames of drama burn
In the heated words something always dies

It's the same face
With a bitter smile and a broken heart
Sorry I know
But I wrote the play and played a part

The final act reveals a twist
As they improvise to be or to be not
The central characters insist
The director and the author lost the plot

It's the same face with a bitter smile and a broken heart
With the blackest soul on the bluest day
