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
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
Look 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 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
I can't stand the heartache, oh yeah
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
