This Heartache

Every day I say, "Don't look her way"

But every day I don't succeed

'Cause though I know that I'm no good for you

I think that you'd be so good for me

And though I try to hide my wand'ring mind

And keep my feelings grounded,

It's hard as you walk by each time

To see your waist without my arms around it

This heartache is all I've gotten

Your lips look so naked

So naked without mine on 'em

This heartache has turned my insides inside out

For now it's just an unrequited, gotta-keep-this-quiet

Now I know what Frankie Valli sang about

This heartache

You see, in all the years that got me here

Each one's brought something new

But up till now none's been so kind, I find,

As the one that's brought me here to you

Don't understand the plan of the guiding hand

Which destines if I lose or win

But I'll claim my little victory over the powers that be

The day I my fingers run across your skin

This heartache is all I've gotten

Your lips look so naked

So naked without mine on 'em

This heartache has turned my insides inside out

For now it's just an unrequited, gotta-keep-this-quiet

Now I know what Frankie Valli sang about

This heartache

"You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much"

This heartache

This heartache is all I've gotten

Your lips look so naked

So naked without mine on 'em

This heartache has turned my insides inside out

For now it's just an unrequited, gotta-keep-this-quiet

Now I know what Frankie Valli sang about

This heartache

You know it's tangled my insides

This heartache

And I thank God, I thank God, "I thank God I'm alive"

This heartache
