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 that just won't be denied

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache

And I better say goodbye before I cry.



--- Instrumental ---



I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow

I lived 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

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

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache

Aw, and I better say goodbye before I cry...
