Nothin's Great About A Heartache lyrics

Somebody told me I’m supposed to feel this way,
That a heart can never reach a peak of truth until it breaks.
That you feel nothin’, until you feel like you’re nothin’.
And that real sufferin’, it helps to keep that muscle pumpin’.
Well, I’m beat.
Give me back my inexperience and keep the heat.
Let me dream for deliverance.

Nothin’s great about a heartache,
There’s nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain.
And I’d rather not feel love then to have to feel this way.
Like I’m dying, you’ve all been lying.
‘Cause there’s nothin’ great about a heartache.

Somebody told me life can sometimes bring you pain,
That the spirit carries passion like the thunder carries rain.
And that our emotions are a test to our devotion.
Just like devastation is the path to recreation.
Well, I bleed.
Give me back my childhood innocence and the peace,
And my faith in the future.

Nothin’s great about a heartache,
There’s nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain.
And I’d rather not feel love then to have to feel this way.
Like I’m dying, you’ve all been lying.
‘Cause there’s nothin’ great about a heartache.

[Solo]

Somebody told me I’m supposed to feel this way,
That a heart can never reach a peak of truth until it breaks.

Nothin’s great about a heartache,
There’s nothing there I wanna learn from all this pain.
And I’d rather not feel love then to have to feel this way.
Like I’m dying, you’ve all been lying.
‘Cause there’s nothin’ great about a heartache.

Nothin’s great about a heartache,
There’s nothin’ great about a heartache.
Nothin’s great about a heartache,
There’s nothin’ great about a heartache. (Repeat)
