They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
Oh, but if they heard my heart they'd hear it say

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside that just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry

I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
Do you know what hurts in all I do and say?
My lips both lie and paint a bright tomorrow
But if they told the truth I'd have to say

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside that just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Oh, and I'd better say goodbye before I cry
