They just don't know how
Lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see
The light of day
I laugh and joke each time
They talk about you
But if they heard my heart
They'd hear it say
Excuse me, I think
I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside
And it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think
I've got a heartache
And I better say
Goodbye before I cry
I guess it's pride that
Makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint
A bright tomorrow
But if I told the truth
I'd have to say
Excuse me, I think
I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside
And it just won't be denied
Excuse me, I think
I've got a heartache
And I better say
Goodbye before I cry
