Tonight at midnight you came by 
I Shook my head, tried not to cry 
Halfway weeping, halfway sleeping 
Tossing, turning, trembling, burning 

Here it comes, heartache 
You wore your hair down 
I love it that way 
You reached out and touched me 

And then you faded away 
It's unreal, the way I feel 
It's almost dawn and you are gone 
Here it comes, heartache 

Heartache of heartache 
Deeper than blue 
Teardrop on teardrop 
I'm still in love with you 

What a way to start a day 
here it comes, heartache over you 
Heartache for you 
Everytime you walk through my mind 
I get that old heartache
