Heartaches By The Numbers

Heartache number one was when you left me

I never knew that I could hurt this way

And heartache number two was when you come back again

You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number, troubles by the score

Ev'ryday 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 back 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

Ev'ryday 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
