I'll bet you thought I'd just give up and die that day

When you said goodbye to me and walked away

But since you've gone I've had to find

Brand new games to pass the time

Why, heartaches can be fun



I sit alone and guess how many tears will fall

Or sit and count the cracks there in that same old wall

I've learned the way the darkness sound

The milkman doin' his lonesome rounds

Why, heartaches can be fun



I just think of all the many things I never would have known

If you had meant the things you said to me

I'd never know the hurt that comes with bein' all alone

Or just how long a lonesome life can be



Well everyday there's something new that I can learn

Like the way the memory of a kiss can burn

Well I only hope before you're through

Someday someone teaches you

That heartaches can be fun



Well I only hope before you're through

Someday someone teaches you

That heartaches can be fun

Heartaches can be fun
