[Intro]
Can't stand the heartache

[Verse 1]
Fall in love with a twisted lady
Suicide with a cover girl
Spent all your time and you got stuck payin' the price
Whoa-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Uptown, kick it down, into a spin
Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win

[Chorus]
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, I can't stand the heartache

[Verse 2]
Oh, you got caught in the line of fire
Bystander innocence
You held your own 'til it wasn't yours anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Waste away another day into the night
You're at home by the phone, it don't seem right
[Chorus]
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, I can't stand the heartache

[Bridge]
You held me like a prisoner
And I don't know
Why I stayed here from the start

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Uptown, run me down under your wheels
I pray, one day, you'll know how it feels

[Chorus]
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
So bleeds the red, 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 goes
[Outro]
(Can't stand the heartache)
Oh, no
(Time heals a broken heart)
