I'll bet you thought I'd just give up and die that day
When you said goodbye to me and walked away
But since you've gone I've had to find
Brand new games to pass the time
Why, heartaches can be fun

I sit alone and guess how many tears will fall
Or sit and count the cracks there in that same old wall
I've learned the way the darkness sound
The milkman doin' his lonesome rounds
Why, heartaches can be fun

I just think of all the many things I never would have known
If you had meant the things you said to me
I'd never know the hurt that comes with bein' all alone
Or just how long a lonesome life can be

Well everyday there's something new that I can learn
Like the way the memory of a kiss can burn
Well I only hope before you're through
Someday someone teaches you
That heartaches can be fun

Well I only hope before you're through
Someday someone teaches you
That heartaches can be fun
Heartaches can be fun
