Lyrics
(Heartaches by the number heartache number one two three)
Experiencing numerous heartaches, symbolized by numbers one, two, and three.
Heartache number one was when you left me
The first heartache occurred when the person left.
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Expressing surprise at the intensity of the pain caused by the departure.
Heartache number two was when you came back again
The second heartache happened when the person returned but had no intention of staying.
You came back but never meant to stay
The return was temporary, and the person left again.
Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Currently experiencing a multitude of heartaches and numerous troubles.
Every day you'd love me less each day I love you more
Describing a pattern where the affection from the other person diminishes daily while the speaker's love grows.
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

You said you were coming back to stay
The person expressed the intention to come back permanently.
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
The speaker waited eagerly for the person to return, anticipating a positive change.
I waited but you must lost your way
The anticipation was in vain, as the person never arrived, possibly lost.
Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Reiterating the presence of numerous heartaches and troubles.
Every day you'd love me less each day I love you more

But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end
