Just Another Heartbreak Song (Gerard McFadden) 

If this were just
another heartbreak song,
I'm sure I'd think it
overly sentimental...
'cause there's nothing new,
'bout a broken heart, sincere:
Same old story, different particulars...

Troubled thoughts,
vanquished dreams,
once hopeful horizons,
now unclear...
Life moves on,
maybe sooner than it should,
but what do I care 'cause this is just
another heartbreak song.

If this were just
another heartbreak song,
I wouldn't want to know
how it all went wrong...
That's life they say
And one day you're going to understand... 
But what does that even mean, 
when all is said and done...

Troubled thoughts,
vanquished dreams,
once hopeful horizons,
now unclear...
Life moves on,
maybe sooner than it should,
but what do I care 'cause this is just
another heartbreak song.

And I'm no Werther,
I'm no Romeo...
I'm just me and it hurts just the same...

I wish this were
just another heartbreak song,
with a hopeful message
'bout life moving on...
and a sense of closure,
 I am yet to know
'cause yes, I care, and no, 
this ain't just another heartbreak song.
