Fall in love with a twisted lady

Suicide with a cover girl

Spent all your time then you got stuck paying the price



Uptown, kick it down, into a spin

Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win



Can't stand the heartache

So bleeds the red, red rose

Time heals a broken heart

But that's just the way it goes

Can't stand, can't stand the heartache



You got caught in the line of fire

Bystander innocence

You held your own till it wasn't yours anymore



Waste away another day into the night

You're at home by the phone, it don't seem right



Can't stand the heartache

So bleeds the red, red rose

Time heals a broken heart

But that's just the way it goes

Can't stand, can't stand the heartache



You held me like a prisoner

And i don't know

Why i stayed here from the start



Uptown, run me down under your wheels

I pray, one day, you'll know how it feels



Can't stand the heartache

So bleeds the red, red rose

Time heals a broken heart

But that's just the way it goes

Can't stand, can't stand the heartache



Can't stand the heartache

So bleeds the red, red rose

Time heals a broken heart

But that's just the way it goes

Can't stand, can't stand the heartache



Can't stand the heartache

So bleeds the red, red rose

Time heals a broken heart

But that's just the way it goes

Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
