One more lonely trail One more busted guardrail One more safety net shot to hell You'd have thought after the last time I'd have learned to read the road signs The maps, they are of no use I'm blind Your cab speeds away in the rain But there's a guest that'll soon be showing up again I recognize her all-too-familiar face 'Cause here comes heartache Who knows how we got this far A black leather jacket and a fast car Wasn't it always written in the stars? You'd have thought after such a common thing The books and pills and the distractions I've have found a way to start Delivered your good-bye with many a tear Academy Awards await you, dear One for the best supporting break Here comes heartache It was your movie from the very start You needed a lead, so I tried out for the part Forgot all my lines, so I gave you my heart I got a review that you wrote Keep it in the pocket of an old coat What am I supposed with any of this? The whole thing hits like a tidal wave The pain, the shame, the fear and the rage When that wall hits the beach, and we break Here comes heartache
