Lyrics
There's A Heartache Following Me
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.
Sometimes they ask me if I'm really happy now.
I say sure, I never loved her anyhow.
But inside I long for you and the way it used to be,
I look around, and there's a heartache following me.
I always say that I'm really glad you're gone.
I even act like I never cared at all.
But your memory lingers on and I'm never really free,
I look around and there's a heartache following me.
I pawned my ring and every thing that tied me to the past.
I say I never loved you, never meant for it to last.
But I know it's just a game, and the losers always me
I look around, and there's a heartache following me.
Sometimes they ask me if I'm really happy now.
I say sure, I never loved her anyhow.
But inside I long for you and the way it used to be,
I look around, and there's a heartache following me.
I look around, and there's a heartache following me.
