Heartache Season by Melodie Yvonne

I broke my fucking heart wide open, let it bleed for you
You held it gently for a moment then let it bleed through
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now ‘cause my dial’s on “E”
And I know I shoulda known better than lovin’ you for free

I guess no matter what I do I’m always pickin’ wrong
I danced that same old dance again right to that same old song
And every time my dime’s on heads my head floats off in space
And I’m left here all alone again just picturin’ your face

I always jump the gun and then that gun is jumpin’ me
I don’t know how to be myself plus be the one you need
I guess they got that sayin’, though, stuff happens for a reason
But the hottest Midwest Summer heat don’t burn like Heartache Season

I cried my eyes out when you said we’d be best just as friends
That same old pattern toppling end over end again
That same old question in my head, “How do you make love stay?”
But I never learned the answer ‘cause I was a runaway

I guess no matter what I do I’m always pickin’ wrong
I danced that same old dance again right to that same old song
And every time my dime’s on heads my head floats off in space
And I’m left here all alone again just prayin’ for some grace

Just prayin’ for a little light to get me through the night
Just prayin’ you will change your mind and come make it alright
I guess they got that sayin, though, stuff happens for a reason
But the hottest Midwest Summer heat don’t burn like Heartache Season
