Song Lyrics

Heartache number one
Was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two
Was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you were coming ba-ack to stay
With hopeful heart I waited
For your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Yes, the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end
