Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You used to hold me, my baby, every night
And your lips, sweet to kiss
Left me starry-eyed
[Verse 2]
And when you whispered our love would never die
I believed in the dream
The dream of you and I
[PreChorus]
Mmm, it's like the sun won't rise today
I know that
Nothing gold can stay
It slowly fades away
[Chorus]
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground
As I'm drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don't know where to
Heartache Avenue
And no cars
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue
Where love's never true
Heartache Avenue
[Verse 3]
And as I'm walking, I keep talking to the rain
Every crack in the pavement
Seems to spell your name
[PreChorus]
Some days, I just wish we'd never met
Some days, I
Feel nothing but regret
Can't tell what lies ahead
[Chorus]
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground
As I'm drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don't know where to
Heartache Avenue
And no cars
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue
Where love's never true
Heartache Avenue
[Bridge]
When someday you'll meet the one
And she breaks your heart for fun
You'll get to see the view
From Heartache Avenue
[Chorus]
The sound
Of footsteps on the ground
As I'm drifting through
Heartache Avenue
Don't know where to
Heartache Avenue
And no cars
No songs from crowded bars
Just the empty gloom of
Heartache Avenue
Where love's never true
Heartache Avenue
[Outro]
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Heartache Avenue
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Heartache Avenue
