Heartbreak's A Blessing lyrics by Danko Jones

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 friend`s 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 friend`s 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
