  • All the things that we've lost
    Breaking off comes at a cost
    And know I miss this mistake
    Every word I try to choose
    Either way I'm gonna lose
    Can't take the ache from heartbreak

    Oh, but as you walk away
    You don't hear me say

    Where's the "good" in "goodbye"?
    Where's the "nice" in "nice try"?
    Where's the "us" in "trust gone"?
    Where's the "soul" in "soldier on"?
    Now I'm the "lone" in "lonely"
    'Cause I don't own you only
    I can take this mistake
    But I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    No, I can't take the ache from heartbreak

    No matter how it falls apart
    There's an "art" in breaking hearts
    But there's no fair in farewell, no
    When I see you in the street
    I pray to God you don't see
    The silent "hell" in "I wish you well."

    Oh, but as you walk away
    You don't hear me say

    Where's the "good" in "goodbye"?
    Where's the "nice" in "nice try"?
    Where's the "us" in "trust gone"?
    Where's the "soul" in "soldier on"?
    Now I'm the "lone" in "lonely"
    'Cause I don't own you only
    I can take this mistake
    But I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak, no

    If I could turn back time then I would re-write those lines
    If I could turn back time then I would re-write those lines
    If I could turn back time then I would re-write those lines
    If I could turn back time then I would re-write those lines

    Where's the "good" in "goodbye"?
    Where's the "nice" in "nice try"?
    Where's the "us" in "trust gone"?
    Where's the "soul" in "soldier on"?
    Now I'm the "lone" in "lonely"
    'Cause I don't own you only
    I can take this mistake
    But I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak
    I can't take the ache from heartbreak

    If I could turn back time, then I would re-write those lines Writer/s: DANIEL O'DONOGHUE, JAMES BARRY, MARK ANTHONY SHEEHAN
