Heartbreak Time
Written by Glen Burtnik and Steve Conte
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik
Fallen angel
Waiting in the rain
Love has left you
With a ball and chain
Yeah
Young and tender
Shot down and pushed away
I remember
'Cause I've had my own hell to pay
I know love's a crime
And the victim pays
Doing heartbreak time
And I know when you're left behind
You count the days
Doing heartbreak time
You can make it
Baby don't give in
Before you know it
Baby you'll be free again
Young and tender
Shot down and pushed away
I remember
'Cause I've had my own hell to pay
I know love's a crime
And the victim pays
Doing heartbreak time
And I know when you're left behind
Yeah you count the days
Doing heartbreak time
Yeah
Every night
The stars come a fallin'
Down to the bottom
From the heavens to the sea
It can't hurt you anymore
Now it's there for you
Baby can't you see
I got through when you hurt me
So I know love's a crime
And the victim pays
Heartbreak time
And I know when you're left behind
You count the days
Doing heartbreak time
I know love is hard to find
But you can't hold on
When it's heartbreak time
I know you can lose your mind
But it's not the end, baby
Yeah, it's heartbreak time...
