while this town is busy sleeping 
all the noises died away 
i walk the streets to stop my weeping 
‘cause she'll never change her ways 

don't fool yourself 
she was heartache from the moment that you met her 
my heart feels so still 
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow 
oh i think i've forgotten her now 

her love is a rose pale and dying 
dropping her petals and men unknown
all full of wine the world before her 
or sober with no place to go 

don't fool yourself 
she was heartache from the moment that you met her 
my heart is frozen still 
cause i try to find the will to forget her somehow 
she's somewhere out there now 

(guitar solo)

oh my tears are falling down as i try to forget 
her love was a joke from the day that we met 
all of the words all of the men 
all of my pain when i think back to when 
remember her hair as it shone in the sun 
the smell of the bed when i knew what she'd done 
tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again 

But don't fool yourself 
she was heartache from the moment that you met her 
oh my heart is frozen still 
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow 
she's out there somewhere now 

oh 
she was heartache from the day that i first met her 
my heart is frozen still 
as i try to find the will to forget you somehow 
cause i know you're somewhere out there right now
