Fall in love with a twisted lady
   Suicide with a cover girl
   Spent all your time then you got stuck paying the price
   Uptown, kick it down, into a spin
   Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win
   Can't stand the heartache
   So bleeds the red, red rose
   Time heals a broken heart
   But that's just the way it goes
   Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
   You got caught in the line of fire
   Bystander innocence
   You held your own till it wasn't yours anymore
   Waste away another day into the night
   You're at home by the phone, it don't seem right
   Can't stand the heartache
   So bleeds the red, red rose
   Time heals a broken heart
   But that's just the way it goes
   Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
   You held me like a prisoner
   And I don't know
   Why I stayed here from the start
   Uptown, run me down under your wheels
   I pray, one day, you'll know how it feels
   Can't stand the heartache
   So bleeds the red, red rose
   Time heals a broken heart
   But that's just the way it goes
   Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
   Can't stand the heartache
   So bleeds the red, red rose
   Time heals a broken heart
   But that's just the way it goes
   Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
   Can't stand the heartache
   So bleeds the red, red rose
   Time heals a broken heart
   But that's just the way it goes
   Can't stand, can't stand the heartache
