lyrics

This Is Heartbreak

So, this is heartbreak.
I never knew,
I never knew it could hurt so bad.
Checking my phone
For a message from you;
I hadn’t been here, but I thought I had.

I listened to those lonely country songs,
And they sang of cheatin’ hearts.
But the tear that’s in my beer
Was just the start.

This is heartbreak.
I wanna die. And I hope you’ll be a mess.
I wanna see you at my funeral.
I wanna see you in a little black dress.

And I heard Otis Redding cry,
Felt the emptiness in these arms of mine,
I thought “I’ve hungered for your touch”
Was just a catchy line.
And so…

This song is not about you.
This song is not about you.
It’s about someone else,
Someone who meant more—
This is just something I was humming
On my way to the store.

So this is heartbreak.
And if you choose, you can put this record on.
And if you are heartbroken too
Pick up your pain and sing along.
