Fall in love with a twisted lady
Suicide with a cover girl
Spent all your time then you got stuck paying the price

Uptown, kick it down, into a spin
Face the wall, take it all, you just can´t win

Can´t stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that´s just the way it goes
Can´t stand, can´t stand the heartache

You got caught in the line of fire
Bystander innocence
You held your own till it wasn´t yours anymore

Waste away another day into the night
You´re at home by the phone, it don´t seem right

Can´t stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that´s just the way it goes
Can´t stand, can´t stand the heartache

You held me like a prisoner
And I don´t know
Why I stayed here from the start

Uptown, run me down under your wheels
I pray, one day, you´ll know how it feels

Can´t stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that´s just the way it goes
Can´t stand, can´t stand the heartache

Can´t stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that´s just the way it goes
Can´t stand, can´t stand the heartache

Can´t stand the heartache
So bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart
But that´s just the way it goes
Can´t stand, can´t stand the heartache
