Can't stand the heartacheFall in love with a twisted lady, suicide with a cover girl
Spent all your time then you got stuck paying the priceUptown, kick it down, into a spin
Face the wall, take it all, you just can't winCan't stand the heartache, so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand, I can't stand the heartacheLook you got caught in the line of fire bystander innocence
You held your own till it wasn't yours anymoreWaste away another day into the night
You're at home by the phone, it don't seem rightCan't stand the heartache, so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand, I can't stand the heartacheYou held me like a prisoner and I don't know
Why I stayed here from the startUptown, run me down under your wheels
I pray, one day, you'll know how it feelsCan't stand the heartache, so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand the heartache, so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goesI can't stand the heartache, so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand the heartache, oh yeah
Time heals a broken heart but that's just the way it goes
