Lyrics
You left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
Don't leave me alone livin' with a heartache
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin' with a heartache
Livin' with a heartache

I've loved you for so long
It's hard to believe that you've really gone
I'll try to change to what I should be
I'm no good alone you know-a everyone sees

That you left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(nothin' but a heartache)
Don't leave me alone livin' with a heartache
(with a heartache)

After all this time I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin with a heartache
Livin with a heartache

Please come back and stay with me
Give our love a chance and maybe you'll see
My love is true like a heart of gold
I promise you a love you can hold

Still you left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(with nothin' but a heartache)
But don't leave me alone livin' with aheartache
(with a heartache)
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

I'm livin' with a heartache
Livin with a heartache

We are strangers since we've been apart
And I can't live inside this broken heart
So now I say what's on my mind
It's up to you are we wasting time

You left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(with nothin' but a heartache)
Now don't leave me alone livin' with aheartache
(with a heartache)
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin' with a heartache
Livin with a heartache
Don't leave me livin' with a heartache
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
