Lyrics
Heartache By Numbers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't stop from thinking
That love makes no sense
I'm burnt out from dreaming
'Bout nobody else
Midnight to daybreak
I can't believe the pain
The way you look, the way you talk,
The way you walk away
Oh I can't take
Heartache by numbers
From violet to grey
I paint all your colours
I wash them away
I live for the moment
I long for the day
You walk in my garden
You lie in my shade
Every night I run around
With every girl in town
But I would rather stay at home
If you were still around
Midnight to daybreak
I'd do it all again
The way you look the way you talk
I'd be your lover not your friend
Oh I can't stand
