It's hard describing a heartache All because it's a one of a kind of thing A serious injury And a whole lot of endless pain If it was a storm I'd compare to a hurricane Oh it's even got a name If it was a drink It would be a strong one If it was a sad song It would be a long one If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you If it was a full moon It would be a total eclipse If it was a tidal wave It would sink a thousand ships If it was a blizzard It would be a record breaking cold If it was a lie It would be the biggest story you've ever told If it was a drink It would be a strong one If it was a sad song It would be a long one If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you
