Heartache

Chorus:
       When I look around, all I see is Heartache.
       Someone always says the words "Good-bye".
       If all I'm going to get is a heart that's broken,
       Then why should I even attempt to try?!

I must admit I do see some happy people;
They really seem to have some good times.
But, later, I see the very same people,
Without smiles, alone, and tears in their eyes.

[Chorus]

I've heard the words, "It's better to have loved and lost
Then never to have not loved at all."
But, I've only heard those words spoken by someone
Who's on the winning side of that call.

[Chorus]

Whenever someone decides to leave you,
They say, "There's plenty of fish in the sea."
But, in an ocean filled with many sharks,
I feel just like a little guppy.

[Chorus Reprise]

When I look around, all I see is Heartache.
Someone always says the words "Good-bye".
