Hot On The Heels Of Heartbreak |
| If you could pull yourself away from that mess |
| Surely if you could pack a punch then you can pack a dress |
| 'Cause hot on the trail of self pity is wilderness |
| Like hot on the heels of heartbreak is happiness |
| It’s an upward struggle just to be yourself (To be yourself) |
| And if I climb too far I’ll end up on the shelf |
| When sorry’s have been said and tears, tears have dried |
| I’m still the easy route to easy ride |
| If you could just have a good word with yourself |
| Convince yourself you’re you and no-one else |
| Restore your confidence and your pride |
| A soldier don’t need no-one by their side |
| It seems as though there’s only me to blame (Me To Blame) |
| Pushover, must be my middle name |
| Just because he flushed love down the drain |
| Doesn’t mean your little heart can’t be reclaimed |
| If you could just have a good word with yourself |
| Convince yourself you’re you and no-one else |
| Restore your confidence and your pride |
| A soldier don’t need no-one by their side |
| And I know that what I’ve chosen’s second best |
| And if the passport was there then I’d say yes |
| But departure leaves a fully feathered nest |
| This easy bird is easily impressed |
| This easy bird is easily impressed |
| Your little wings broken, nest destroyed |
| The love that he talked of, null and void |
| If you knew you were a plaything with which they toyed |
| Your little heart would now be the employed |
| Next time I choose to love I’ll take good aim |
| Miss out on his sweet talk and his blame |
| Then when I miss the target you can’t complain |
| It’s only the sure-shot actually feels the pain |
| It’s only the sure-shot actually feels the pain |
| It’s only the sure-shot actually feels the pain |
