Heartache Never Sleeps

Heartache never sleeps. I'm still awake. Listening to every old Floorboard shake. Your side of the bed is cold and bare, But I swear I still feel you there. I close my eyes, but the memories creep. Some kinds of sorrow Never sleep. Heartache never sleeps. It follows me through the night. When the whole world closes its eyes, It keeps me awake 'til morning Light. I can drown it in whiskey. Oh. I can pray for some peace. But when the darkness Comes around, heartache never Sleeps. That old photograph still knows your face, Sitting in the same old place. I hear our song on the radio, and Suddenly I'm years ago. I thought time would teach my heart to forget, But some memories aren't finished Yet. Heartache never sleeps. It follows me through the night. When the whole world closes its eyes, It keeps me awake 'til morning Light. I can drown it in whiskey. I can pray for some peace. But when the darkness comes around, Heartache never sleeps. Maybe someday the morning will come, And I won't miss what we had done. Maybe these tears will finally cease. Maybe this old heart will find some peace. But heartache never sleeps. Not while your memory remains. It walks these empty rooms with me. It whispers softly Through the rain. I've learned to carry the sorrow. I've learned to live with the grief. But when midnight calls my name, Heartache never sleeps. Two in the morning, Still wide awake. The world is sleeping, But my heart Still aches.
