Songwriter: Gary Harrison Richard Marx

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just look at him laughing out loud
The life of the party
And look at me trying to be strong
Fighting the tears
How can he stand there
Acting like we never even happened

So this is the heartache I've heard about
The part of love I could live without
Giving it all
Loving in vain

This is the heartache I've heard about
A great future behind me now
As the memories run down my face
This is the heartache

It's not like me to become a wall decoration
But here in the corner at least
All eyes aren't on me
So that's the new girl that he's seeing
I think it's time I should be leaving

So this is the heartache I've heard about
The part of love I could live without
Giving it all
Loving in vain

This is the heartache I've heard about
A great future behind me now
As the memories run down my face
This is the heartache

Is love only a trick of the night?
An illusion done mirrors
Smoke and light

Whoa
So this is the heartache I've heard about
The part of love I could live without
Giving it all
Loving in vain

This is the heartache I've heard about
A great future behind me now
As the memories run down my face
This is the heartache
This is the heartache
This is the heartache
