Yeah Morning came and I was on my way When you reminded me I had too soon forgotten It was you that set me free Yeah, you were here when I came You'll be here when I'm gone So don't be waiting on love 'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on Headed for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak Darling, don't wait up for me Tonight I won't be home You've become a stranger I just got to be alone Don't need nobody on my side To dull the blade I'm on So don't be waiting on love 'Cause I'll be waiting to ramble on Headed for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak It's not a mistake Don't you think I can feel the pain? I walk away, to live again Headed for a heartbreak Headed for a heartbreak (Don't make me hurt you) Headed for a heartbreak ('Cause I love you) Headed for a heartbreak
