Heartbreak is a headache
Like a toothache or an earthquake
Spontaneous combustion
Leaves a taste that so disgustin'
And it don't go away too fast
On a window made of broken glass

Rumors are tumors
Of the sick and mainly useless
When you come to me with these things
It's the shit that I can't deal with
Still I gave you all of me
Faithfulness and honesty
Prayed for God to bring you near
Along with all these tears
