You used to hold me 
My baby, every night 
And your lips, sweet to kiss 
Left me starry-eyed
And when you whispered
Our love would never die,
I believed, in the dream
The dream of you and I 
It’s like the sun won’t rise today 
I know that, 
Nothing gold can stay
It slowly fades away
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground 
As I’m drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don’t know where to
No cars,
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue,
Where love’s never true,
Heartache Avenue
And as I’m walking 
I keep talking to the rain 
Every crack in the pavement
Seems to spell your name
Some days I just wish we’d never met,
Some days I
Feel nothing, but regret
Can’t tell what lies ahead
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground 
As I’m drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don’t know where to
No cars,
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue,
Where love’s never true,
Heartache Avenue
When someday you’ll meet the one
And she breaks your heart for fun
You’ll get to see the view 
from Heartache Avenue
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground 
As I’m drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don’t know where to
No cars,
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue,
Where love’s never true,
Heartache Avenue
