Lyrics
HEARTACHE
I just don't know what to do
I can't get over losing you
You headed straight out the door
You said you couldn't do this anymore
Like the clock ticking there on the shelf
I 'm lonely, talking to myself
I try to smile, and I try to sing
'Cause it seems like I've lost everything
But the songs won't come through
As long as I'm thinking 'bout you
Like the clock ticking there on the shelf
I 'm lonely, talking to myself
Heartbreak isn't easy
It's not a place I like to be
Heartache is so painful
No doctor can rescue me
I was hoping you would change your mind
But you're really, really gone this time
I just don't know what to do
'Cause I'm still crazy 'bout you
You headed straight out the door
You said you couldn't do this anymore
Like the clock ticking there on the shelf
I'm lonely, talking to myself
I'm lonely talking to my self
