Heartbreak Highway
found myself on heartbreak highway in the cold wind and the rain
bought myself a ticket back home again left my best friend in a doorway in L.A.
 
if i had my time again i'd see where i went wrong
choose my friends and neighbours more carefully
i'd give more than a years pay to see you once again

on heartbreak highway
in the heat of the city
on heartbreak highway

bumped into your brother he's not what i call a man
not 18 in trouble he should be back at school
got beat up in a bar fight ooh such a fool

on heartbreak highway
in the heat of the city
on heartbreak highway

finding out the hard way
losing friends to find out
but there's no looking back

music stores and diners on sunset boulevard
short of work and money times are getting hard
found myself in heartbreak city on the wrong side of the street

in heartbreak city in the heart of the sunrise
on heartbreak highway

Hurt so bad
people never meant that much to you and you never took time to realise that people cared about you
some people come some people go but you never quite know
is this day or is it night dont you get the feeling that somethings not right

hurt so bad girl feelings deep inside there's no looking back no sad goodbyes

cheerful expressions and practiced in grace those tell tale looks that show on your face
telephone message where shall we go make me feel that i never quite know
youre so indifferent i never know what your gonna do and where your gonna go
make up your mind girl there's no looking back
for you there's no tomorrow it simply like that

hurt so bad girl feelings deep inside there's no looking back no sad goodbyes
dont you worry babe its gonna turn out right

your motivation remains a surprise a life of broken promises and little white lies
you crave to be noticed your aim is the screen looks as though no one will stand in between
you seem so indifferent i never quite know what your gonna do and where your gonna go
make up your mind there's no looking back for you there's no tomorrow it's simply like that

Sympathy
I'm not asking for your sympathy I dont want your pity
you're not looking at a broken man just someone who's had difficulty
I never believed in broken hearts until mine got broken
and here I am now talking to you dont want you to think I'm joking

when someone new comes around baby
it sends your whole world spinning round and around and around
when someone new comes around I'm not trying to sing the same old song
same old story going on and on no I'm not trying to sing that same song
I'm not asking for your sympathy
when someone new when someone new comes around

it's not that i'm indifferent to you but look what your commanding
when someone new comes around and turns your whole world upside down
i'm not asking for your sympathy
