[English]

The trouble with a heartbreak

Don't let anybody tell ya it's gonna be easy

Don't let anyone tell ya they know what it's like

Mmm, when they say

"Get out on this town, meet somebody new, get lost in a crowd" all I see is you

Don't let anybody tell ya it's gonna be easy

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak, it's gonna hang around

Leave you midnight breaking down, wonderin' how

Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her

It's a can't-drown-whiskey-down-kinda hurt

Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up that road

But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go

That's the trouble with a heartbreak

Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

Think about where she is, who she's drivin' crazy

Can't see a rearview sunset without thinkin' 'bout us

Girl, I still think about us

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak, it's gonna hang around

Leave you midnight breaking down, wonderin' how

Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her

It's a can't-drown-whiskey-down-kinda hurt

Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up that road

But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go

That's the trouble with a heartbreak

Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

Oh, yeah

That's the trouble with a heartbreak

Get out on this town, meet somebody new

Get lost in a crowd, all I see is you

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak, it's gonna hang around

Leave you midnight breaking down, wonderin' how

Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her

It's a can't-drown-whiskey-down-kinda hurt

Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up that road

But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go

That's the trouble with a heartbreak

Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

Oh yeah

That's the trouble with a heartbreak, oh yeah
