He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away
In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the day he was born
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Since the hour that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drink
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away
In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the day he was born
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
Since the hour that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drink
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you think that you don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on you knees baby
Begging me to come back home
You tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause you have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you think that you don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on you knees baby
Begging me to come back home
You tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause you have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone
I tried to hold our love together
But you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need
Was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before
There's no way you ever could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
If there was a way to make you stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
But you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need
Was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before
There's no way you ever could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
If there was a way to make you stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
