lyrics

through tears she asked me with her eyes
how did you get so good at goodbye
it's not something that I've always known
see this ain't my heart's first rodeo

overcoming heartache is something I know well
I've been the last one standing in love's battlefield
and like Achilles with such ease I've made every heartache yield
but your that arrow that always catches my heal

those three words "I love you" no longer mean a thing
years of broken promises and that meaningless ring
it's just a simple case of supply and demand
but one time I swear I was an honest man

it's not that I've been trying to go and tell those lies
the proof's in the tears I cried at every goodbye
I've been through so much pain that I no longer feel
but there's still one wound that just won't heal

overcoming heartache is something I know well
I've been the last one standing in love's battlefield
and like Achilles with such ease I've made every heartache yield
but you're that arrow that always catches my heel

I sit back and wonder how I still manage to find the words
with you it's effortless, the energy was so absurd
it's crazy, I could meet a hundred other women like you
but you're the only one I want to sit at home and write to
time passes, wounds heal and all that
it's been five years, I'm still bleeding, what do you call that?
I need some clarity cause you were suppose to marry me
now all I have's this pen and pad for my therapy

so lyrically it's clear that I have an obsession
memories are my medicine, like every second
Adam had Eve and Hera had Zeus
so there should be no reason why I can't have you
they say your vision's 20/20 when it's hindsight
you chased love while I was chasing limelight
they tell me "if I love her let her go"
so you run, but I know I'll see you when the time's right

overcoming heartache is something I know well
always the last one standing in love's battlefield
and like Achilles with such ease I've made every heartache yield
but you're that arrow that always catches my heel
