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 I told the truth, I'd have to 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

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 they told the truth they'd have to say, alright

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
