Lyrics
This ain't no movie
This is not a scripted or staged situation.
This ain't no video
It's not a recorded performance.
Don't be confused
Don't be misled or deceived.
This ain't no TV show
This is not a fictional television program.
There ain't no ending
There is no predetermined conclusion.
Except the big one
Except for the ultimate and inevitable ending (death).
Real life goes on and on from day to day
Everyday real life continues endlessly.
Don't ever count on resolution
Don't rely on finding solutions easily.
No solution comes without a price
Solutions come with their own costs.
Don't be disappointed if your heart gets broken
Don't be disheartened if you experience emotional pain.
We cross our fingers and we roll the dice
We take risks, acknowledging that outcomes are uncertain.
Too much, too easy never lasts too long
Excessive ease and simplicity do not endure.
I should have known it was bound to go wrong
The singer regrets not foreseeing the inevitable failure.
The easier it looks
The more effortless something appears, the more deceptive it is.
The harder it hooks
An easy situation can lead to unexpected challenges.
Too much, too easy never lasts too long
Easy achievements don't last for an extended period.
I should be sleeping but I don't give a damn
The singer acknowledges insomnia due to loneliness.
Can't stop thinking 'bout how lonely I am
The singer is preoccupied with thoughts of isolation.
This ain't no movie
Reiteration that this is not a scripted situation.
This ain't no video
Emphasizing again that it's not a recorded performance.
Don't be confused
Cautioning against confusion or misinterpretation.
This ain't no TV show
This is not a fictional television program.
There ain't no ending
There is no predetermined conclusion.
Except the big one
Everyday real life continues endlessly.
Real life goes on and on from day to day
[Empty line]
Too much, too easy never lasts too long
Over time, challenges contribute to emotional strength.
The time passing by helps a heart to grow strong
The passing of time helps in healing emotional wounds.
The easier it looks
The more something appears easy, the more deceptive it is.
The harder it hooks
An easy situation can lead to unexpected challenges.
Too much, too easy never lasts too long
Easy achievements don't last for an extended period.
This ain't no movie but I understand
This is not a scripted situation, but the singer understands.
It's just the story of an ordinary man
The song narrates the life of an ordinary individual.
Too much, too easy never lasts too long
Excessive ease and simplicity do not endure.
I should have known it was bound to go wrong
The singer regrets not foreseeing the inevitable failure.
Too much, too easy
Excessive ease and simplicity are emphasized once again.
I should have known
The singer expresses regret for not anticipating the outcome.
