Heart-Ache



Why does my heart ache?
I am an alright guy
There is only so much I can take!

Often, I sit in seclusion by this lake
Think of my let downs and cry
Why does my heart ache?

I'm always honest, never fake
Occasionally, I'll tell a white lie
There is only so much I can take!

Bad decisions, I am plagued to make
No matter how had I try
Why does my heart ache?

My heart is burning at the stake.
Well done, completely fried.
There is only so much I can take!

Under a weeping willow tree, beside this lake.
Tears weigh heavy, I cry 
Why does my heart ache?
There is only so much I can take!
