Heartbreak Dues

Too much, too much
[?]

The last words, the first tears
The ice melting in your drink
The empty room, the hidden strength
Too much time to think
The sudden turn as the taxi
Disappears into the rain
The twisted smile as you
Disappear into your pain

Heartbreak dues, heartbreak dues
Heartbreak dues
When the love you choose is the love you lose
You've got to pay and pay those heartbreak dues

Thе warm rain, the cold smile
The rеd-rimmed eyes
The sharp tongue is a dull blade
The taste of goodbye
The cold touch, the strange bed
The need to sleep alone
The taxi that can take me back
But cannot take me home

Heartbreak dues, heartbreak dues
Heartbreak dues
When the love you choose is the love you lose
You've got to pay and pay those heartbreak dues

And the things you remember
Are the same things you forget
And you think your heart is breaking
But you ain't seen nothin' yet
And you say what you mean
But it ain't what you mean

Heartbreak dues, heartbreak dues
Heartbreak dues
When the love you choose is the love you lose
Is the love you choose
Is the love you lose
