It's hard describin' a heartache All 'cause it's a one of a kind thing A serious injury and a whole lot of endless pain If it was a storm, I'd compare it to a hurricane Oh it's even got a name If it was a drink, it would be a strong one If it was a sad song, it would be a long one If it was a color, it would be a deep, deep blue But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache, it would be you If there was a full moon, it would be a total eclipse If it was a tidal wave, it would sink a thousand ships If it was a blizzard, it would be a record breakin' cold If it was a lie, it would be the biggest story you've ever told If it was a drink, it would be a strong one If it was a sad song, it would be a long one If it was a color, it would be a deep, deep blue But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache, it would be you If it was a color, it would be a deep, deep blue But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache It would be you
