Somebody told me I'm supposed to feel this way,
That a heart can never reach a peak of truth until it breaks
That you feel nothin', until you feel like you're nothin'
And that real sufferin', it helps to keep that muscle pumpin'
Well, I'm beat
Give me back my inexperience and keep the heat
Let me dream for deliverance

Nothin's great about a heartache,
There's nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain
And I'd rather not feel love then to have to feel this way
Like I'm dying, you've all been lying
‘Cause there's nothin' great about a heartache

Somebody told me life can sometimes bring you pain,
That the spirit carries passion like the thunder carries rain
And that our emotions are a test to our devotion
Just like devastation is the path to recreation
Well, I bleed
Give me back my childhood innocence and the peace,
And my faith in the future

Nothin's great about a heartache,
There's nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain
And I'd rather not feel love then to have to feel this way
Like I'm dying, you've all been lying
‘Cause there's nothin' great about a heartache

[Solo]

Somebody told me I'm supposed to feel this way,
That a heart can never reach a peak of truth until it breaks

Nothin's great about a heartache,
There's nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain
And I'd rather not feel love then to have to feel this way
Like I'm dying, you've all been lying
‘Cause there's nothin' great about a heartache

Nothin's great about a heartache,
There's nothin' great about a heartache
Nothin's great about a heartache,
There's nothin' great about a heartache (Repeat)
