If you sail away on a heartache
You'll live a life full of lonely roads
Lost between the words of hate and sadness
But whichever way you see it now
It's gonna get you anyhow
So why waste the time that you could lose ?

Oh isn't it a pity, oh isn't it a crying shame ?
When you lose someone you love, you're nobody
You've gotta take it home before it breaks in two
Get it out before it gets to you
Heartache, such an awful mount of pain

You know it's never too late - it's never too late to learn
You gotta take it on, you gotta shake it all, you gotta move it
How do you know you're gonna get the best you can
If you don't try, you don't try hard to lose
You'll lose, you're losing, oh oh

We all go on the right line, if we don't get in before the close
We can help each other staying out in the cold
But you'll never know if you never try, if you wanna live or you wanna die
But to not know is an awful way to go

So take me into your arms, I'll give you my heart
Will you give me your charms ?
Shine on, shine on my day, shine on my life
Shine on my heartache

Take my heart but don't you dare lose it
Or I'll come and get your body and soul
Take my heart but don't you dare lose it, oh no no
Take me through the night cause I want a thousand nights
With a love lying deep in my arms
No more excuses, no more excuses, no harm done
Take me from this heartache
Take me from this heartache...

If you sail away on a heartache
Don't forget about the lonely roads
And don't forget the words of hate and sadness
But whichever way you see it now
It's gonna get you anyhow
So why waste the time that you could lose ?
