I've got this hard kind of heartache I've got a subtle sting of pain Making my way from West Virginia Wondering if I'll see you again I've got this hard kind of heartache I've got a subtle sting of pain But if this is what loving will take I'm bound to let it in again To see and to be seen anew To let my wild heart come unglued The relativity of truth You mention in my heroes As I fumble through some, too I've got this hard kind of heartache And though I know that it will fade If this is what loving is gonna take I know I'll let it in again I've got this hard kind of heartache Paired with a little bit homesick Making my way back to the Dogwood State Wondering which parts of this will stay I've got that hard kind of heartache I've got a subtle kiss of pain But if this is what loving will take Then I'm gonna let it in again If this song is all you left with me I'm gonna sing it 'till it ends
