Heartaches by the Number
Counting Heartaches: A Tale of Love's Triumphs and Trials
Lyrics
Heartache number one
Experiencing the first heartache
Was when you left me
Referring to the pain of being left
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Expressing surprise at the intensity of the hurt
And heartache number two
Encountering the second heartache
Was when you came back again
Highlighting the return, but with no intention to stay
You came back and never meant to stay
Noting the transient nature of the return
Now I've got heartaches by the number
Conveying the accumulation of numerous heartaches
Troubles by the score
Facing multiple troubles and challenges
Everyday you love me less
Noticing a decrease in affection each day
Each day I love you more
Expressing increasing love despite diminishing affection
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
Reiterating the abundance of heartaches
A love that I can't win
Describing a love that seems unattainable
But the day that I stop counting
Pointing out a moment when counting stops
That's the day my world will end
Signifying the potential end of the world
Heartache number three
Encountering a third heartache
Was when you called me
Receiving a call indicating a return with hope
And said that you were coming ba-ack to stay
Expressing anticipation for a lasting return
With hopeful heart I waited
Waiting with hope for the person's arrival
For your knock on the door
Anticipating a knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way
Realizing the person might have lost their way
Now I've got heartaches by the number
Reiterating the accumulation of heartaches
Troubles by the score
Highlighting an increase in troubles
Everyday you love me less
Noting a daily decline in love received
Each day I love you more
Expressing a growing love despite decreasing affection
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
Emphasizing the abundance of heartaches
A love that I can't win
Describing a love that seems unattainable
But the day that I stop counting
Reiterating a moment when counting stops
That's the day my world will end
Highlighting the potential end of the world
Yes, the day that I stop counting
Emphasizing the significance of stopping counting
That's the day my world will end
Suggesting that the end of counting marks a devastating moment
