The door to my heart was open

Open wide much wider than wide

(I said the door was open)

And I had been praying and hoping

That your love would come walking inside



I should have locked my heart

I should have thrown away the key

Instead I let you walk on through

I thought your love was true

But it was misery



Ooh, heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home



(I said the door was open, it was wide open)

My heart had room inside

And to fill it with love I was willing

I wanted it to be occupied

By a love that was strong and fulfilling



I should have shut you out

Detained you with a strong defence

Instead my heart gave shelter to

A love I felt was true

In every sense

Don't you know that



Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home



(My heart had room inside now, it had room inside)

Now I've cried a river

No it's more like a sea

Tears flow by the thousand

Since my heart is housing this misery

Misery



Let me tell you about

Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home



Heartaches, heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home



Heartbreaks

That's all I've known

Misery makes my heart its home
