Lyrics
While this town is busy sleeping
All the noise has died away
I walk the streets to stop my weeping
'Cause she'll never change her ways

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
Oh, I think I've forgotten her now

Her love is a rose, pale and dying
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her
Was sober with no place to go

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
She's somewhere out there now

Well, my tears falling down as I try to forget
Her love was a joke from the day that we met
All of the words, all of her men
All of my pain when I think back to when

Remember her hair as it shone in the sun
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done
Tell yourself over and over
You won't ever need her again

But don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
She's out there somewhere now

Oh, she was heartache from the day that I first met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now
Duh, duh, dah ah ah, oh-oh, oh
