Heartbreak Thing

from Cumberland Moonshine by Renée Wahl

/

lyrics

I’m tired of love
Cause I always end up
With my head hanging
Down in my drink
Buy another round
Act like a clown
Laughin’ like I just
Won a bank
I get lost in the night
Trying to get right
But still find myself
Back on the brink
Trying to get drunk
But it’s not any fun
When you’re doing the Heartbreak Thing

I’ve been doing the Heartbreak Thing every night
And every night ends up the same
I try to get right
But end up in a fight
And just drive myself insane
This would be the night
When the bottle ain’t right
I’m not even feeling my drinks
Going insane
A slave to the pain
Doing the Heartbreak Thing

Well I’d call up my friends
Say you gotta help me out
But I’m still thinking
My phone might ring
So instead I end up
Sitting here all alone
Doing this stupid
Heartbreak Thing
And if you did call up
I’d probably jump back in
I’d be there
Before you could blink
Forgetting bout’ the pain
All the hell you put me through
When you hit me with this Heartbreak Thing

I thought I had your lovin’
But ended up with nothin’
But an imitation diamond ring
Now I’ll be up all night
Losing precious sleep
Doing this Heartbreak Thing
This would be the night
When the bottle ain’t right
I’m not even feeling my drinks
Going insane
A slave to the pain
Doing the Heartbreak Thing

Looking for fun
Forget I was stung
Ready for one more fling
But it always ends up
With me crying my eyes out
Doing the Heartbreak Thing
I know I won’t be able
To sleep tonight
I wish I could get away clean
But I’ll be up all night
Losing precious sleep
Doing the Heartbreak Thing

I’ve been doing the Heartbreak Thing every night
And every night ends up the same
I try to get right
But end up in a fight
And just drive myself insane
This would be the night
When the bottle ain’t right
I’m not even feeling my drinks
Going insane
A slave to the pain
Doing the Heartbreak Thing
