Heartbreak's A Blessing

(album: We Sweat Blood - 2003)

How many times did I let it slide by
When the boys got the pick of the best
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't pick up a clue
Going home all alone in my bed

I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
When I did, I got the best
She knew it all, taught me everything but what I learned
Best lesson was when she left
I learned

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head
I got a wall going 'round my heart
I see my friends go through trouble and when trouble's around
It always leads to a girl in the end

I didn't know it'd be this hard to find
Never knew it'd take this long
But if I'm gonna have to wait
I'm gonna wait
I'll probably die an old man alone

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend

When I see a pretty lady walking down the street
My eyes get overtaken, my knees get weak
I can talk the talk but I'm easily tempted
Resisting a good looking..woman
Ain't so easy in the end

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head
I got a wall going 'round my heart
I see my friends go through trouble and when trouble's around
It always leads to a girl in the end

I didn't know it'd be this hard to find
Never knew it'd take this long
But if I'm gonna have to wait
I'm gonna wait
I'll probably die an old man alone
I like that

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend
