Lyrics Waiting For the Heartache - Jimmy Barnes

Hard as a rock, you have made your heart
And you're so sure that it's me to blame
How can you lose when you hold all the cards
But who can win in a losing game
You told me that I'd have to live without you
Hey, loneliness is no stranger to my life
And I know you'll get by

I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all

I'm wide awake and I feel no pain
Lying alone in this bed of thorns
Headlights scream 'cross these walls like flames
Is this the calm just before the storm
I thought that I could never live without you
It's funny how things change when life says jump
You're not the only one

I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all

I thought that I was headed for a broken heart
But a heart can fall so far and not apart
I'm lying in the dark

I've been waiting for the heartache to come
I've been waiting for the tears to start to fall
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
But it don't come at all

I'm not reaching out for you in the night
'Cause something deep inside me says it's alright
I've been waiting for the heartache to come
Well, it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all
No, it don't come at all
