Can't Stand the Heartache lyrics

Can't stand the heartache.

Fall in love with a twisted lady,

suicide with a cover girl.

Spent all your time, then you got stuck 

paying the price, whoa.

Uptown, kick it down into a spin.

Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win.

Can't stand the heartache.

So bleeds the red, red rose.

Time heals a broken heart, 

but that's just the way it goes.

I can't stand, I can't stand the heartache.

Oh, you got caught in the line of fire, 

bystander innocence.

You held your own 

till it wasn't yours anymore.

Waste away another day into the night.

You're at home by the phone, 

it don't seem right.

Can't stand the heartache.

So bleeds the red, red rose.

Time heals a broken heart,

but that's just the way it goes.

I can't stand, I can't stand the heartache.

You held me like a prisoner

and I don't know

why I stayed here from the start.

Uptown, run me down under your wheels.

I pray one day you'll know how it feels.

Can't stand the heartache.

So bleeds the red, red rose.

Time heals a broken heart, 

but that's just the way it goes.

I can't stand the heartache.

So bleeds the red, red, red rose.

Time heals a broken heart,

but that's just the way it goes.

I can't stand the heartache.

So bleeds the red, red rose.

Time heals a broken heart,

but that's just the way it goes.

Can't stand the heartache.

Whoa, yeah.

Time heals a broken heart.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Can't stand the heartache.
