Heartaches by the Number
Counting Heartaches: A Tale of Love's Ebb and Flow
Lyrics
Heartache number one was when you left me
Experiencing heartache when the person left.
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Unexpectedly realizing the depth of emotional pain.
And heartache number two was when
Encountering heartache again when the person returns.
you come back again
The person returned but had no intention of staying.
Well, you came back but never meant to stay
Although the person returned, it was temporary.
Now, I´ve got heartaches by the number
Expressing the accumulation of numerous heartaches.
Troubles by the score
Facing multiple troubles and challenges.
Everyday you love me less
Noticing a decline in the love received every day.
Each day I love you more
Despite decreasing love, the singer's love continues to grow.
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
Anticipating a bleak future when counting stops.
That's the day my world will end
Linking the end of counting to the end of the world for the singer.
Heartache number three was when you called me
Experiencing a third heartache when promised a return.
And said that you were comin' back to stay
Receiving news of the person's return with hope.
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
Waiting eagerly for the person, but they don't arrive.
I waited but you must have lost your way
Speculating that the person lost their way and didn't return.
Now, I've got heartaches by the number
Reiterating the accumulation of heartaches.
Troubles by the score
Continuing to face numerous troubles and challenges.
Everyday you love me less
Observing a daily decrease in the love received.
Each day I love you more
Contrastingly, the singer's love intensifies each day.
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number
Emphasizing the persistence of heartaches.
A love that I can't win
Describing a love that appears impossible to win.
But the day that I stop counting
Highlighting the significance of counting in the singer's life.
That's the day my world will end
Associating the cessation of counting with a catastrophic event.
But the day that I stop counting
Reiterating the connection between counting and the end of the world.
That's the day my world will end
Emphasizing the gravity of the day counting stops for the singer.
