Heartaches by the Number

[Verse 1: Rosanne Cash]

Well, heartache number one was when you left me

I ain't never knew that I could hurt this way

And heartache number two was when you'd come back again

You came back and never meant to stay

[Chorus: Rosanne Cash & Elvis Costello]

Now I've got heartaches by the number

Troubles by the score

Every day you love me less

Each day I love you more

Yes, I've got heartaches by the number

A love that I can't win

But the day that I stop counting

That's the day my world will end

[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash]

Well, heartache number three was when you called me

And said that you were coming back to stay

With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door

I waited, but you must have lost your way

[Chorus: Rosanne Cash & Elvis Costello]

Now I've got heartaches by the number

Troubles by the score

Every day you love me less

Each day I love you more

Yes, I've got heartaches by the number

A love that I can't win

But the day that I stop counting

That's the day my world will end

The day that I stop counting

That's the day my world will end
