I've tried in every way I could to share my love
Every girl I've ever known rearranged my love
I guess I'm not the kind of guy that turns the ladies on
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs
I'll just write my music and sing my songs
Good or bad, weak or strong I'll write right on
'Cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs

I'll write a song about heartache, cause heartache is my namesake
We've come to know each other so very well
And misery is my lover, it's closer than my brother
'Cause it runs in my bloodstream so deep and so mean

I've seen LA, New Orleans and New York town
I have yet one time to say that I have found
A love that's real, the kind that makes you feel like a soul is heaven-bound
Heaven-bound, heaven-bound, heaven-bound

I'll write a song about heartache, cause heartache is my namesake.
We've come to know each other so very well
And misery is my lover, it's closer than a brother
Cause it runs in my bloodstream so deep and so mean

'Cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong
I'll just write my music and sing my songs
So I'll just write my music and sing my songs
