Hard as a rock you've made your heart
And you're so sure that it's me to blame
How can you lose when you hold all the cards?
But who can win at a losing game?
You told me that I had to live without you
Hey, loneliness is no stranger to my life
And I know you'll get by
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
(But it don't come at all)
No, it don't come at all
I'm wide awake, but I feel no pain
Lying alone in this bed of thorns
Headlights scream across these walls like flames
Is this the calm just before the storm?
I thought that I could never live without you
Funny how things change when life says, "Jump"
You're not the only one
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
(But it don't come at all)
No, it don't come at all
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I thought that I was headed for a broken heart
But a heart can fall so far but not apart
I'm lying in the dark
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
(But it don't come at all)
I'm not reaching out for you in the night
(Reaching out for you in the night)
But something deep inside of me says it's alright
(Something deep inside me says it's alright)
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
(But it don't come at all)
No, it don't come at all
Waiting for the heartache to come
(No, it don't come at all)
Waiting for the tears to start to fall
(No, it don't come at all)
Waiting for the heartache to come
(I've been waiting, I've been waiting)
Waiting for the tears to start to fall
(For the heartache, no, it don't, no, it don't)
Waiting for the heartache to come
(You know, it just don't come at all)
Waiting for the tears to start to fall
(I've been waiting)
Waiting for the heartache to come
Waiting for the tears to start to fall
