They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke and paint a bright tomorrow
But if I told the [bad word] I'd have to say...

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Theres an aching deep inside
And it just won't be denied

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I'd 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 [bad word] I'd have to say...

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Theres an aching deep inside
And it just won't be denied

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
And I'd better say goodbye
Before I cry
