Heartburn
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.
Is this heartbreak or is this heartburn?
Have I been played or do I need a rolaid?
Gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya
The difference 'tween I love ya and the symptoms of ebola
Is this heartbreak or is this heartburn?
Can I be spared from being so dramatic?
Gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya
The difference 'tween I love ya and that derailed rollercoaster
Gonna rain down on my sunny Sunday shoes
Guess best I get some galoshes
Let me tell you that this song's useful
Yes this song's useful when you're really drunk
And you gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya
The difference 'tween I love ya and whatever.
