Verse 1

It was not to long ago

 He bought tickets to a show

The curtains were drawn the

lights were on the

story he didn't know

She was a foreign film about

 Love, mistrust and doubt

He tried to change and

--

rearrange and now he wanted out

Chorus 1

 (He said) She said he

would never make it

Shot down he could

never take it

He said that she never

 believes him at all

 It's the story of my life

She said he would

never make it

Shot down he could

never take it

He said that she never

 believes him at all

--

It's the story of my life

Verse 2

The plot had many holes

And the jokes were getting old

He tried to leave and for some

reason he came back wanting more

He wasted so much time

 He could never get it right

He tried to change and

--

rearrange and now he wanted out

Chorus 2

 (He said) She said he

would never make it

Shot down he could

never take it

He said that she never

 believes him at all

 It's the story of my life

She said he would

never make it

Shot down he could

never take it

He said that she never

 believes him at all

It's the story of my life

Bridge

I was never good enough

I could never be

 what you wanted

I'm gonna die trying

So just kill me now

I was never good enough

 I was never gonna make it

I'm gonna die trying

So just kill me now
