Lyrics and translation
Original
While this town is busy sleeping, all the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping, but she'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Oh, 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 and bleeding out.
All full of wine, the world before her was sober with no place to go.
Mmm, 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.
Oh, 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 the men, all of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun? I swear on the day when I knew what she'd done.
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever meet her again.
But don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Oh, 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.
Doing better!
