They just don't know how lost I feel without you

My teardrops never see the light of day

I laugh and joke each time they talk about you

But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache

There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache and I'd better say goodbye before I cry

[ steel ]

I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow I live a lie in all I do and say

My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow but if I told the truth I'd have to say

Excuse me I think I've got a heartache...
