Story Behind The Song
You know who you are! This is becoming a recurring theme for me but, as I mature, I find that the experiences that have made me the person I am have also made clearer to me the consequences of my actions. I know when a heartache is inevitable. It clearly doesn't take a genius to figure that out - just someone who has seen or experienced enough to be able to predict an obvious conclusion. Yet, I sometimes find myself still resisting acknowledging or accepting that. I know I am opening myself up to heartache but the possibility of that is worth experiencing the passion or connection. (I just wonder if he feels that way too.....)

Lyrics
V1: A heartache waiting to happen
A storm heading my way
I know I should be running for shelter
But I can't seem to move - what does that say
About me, about you, about what we're willing to face
For the chance to be together
Even if we know it's gonna end in heartache
Cho: You're a heartache waiting to happen
You're a dream that'll never come true
I can play along, I can just pretend
But we both know it's gonna end
In heartache - you're a heartache waiting to happen
V2: Having a conscience is brutal
Having none is a shame
Isn't there some kind of compromise
Some praise, some blame?
Why can't we enjoy each other
Without having to apologize?
Why can't we accept each other
Without looking through another's eyes?
Cho:
Bridge: You dazzle me - you charm me
Overwhelm and disarm me
You excite me - delight me
Inspire and desire me
V3: I guess it's all about the timing
When someone comes into your life
If we'd met a little sooner
I wonder what it would be like
Well, we can speculate all day
And dream about being in love
In reality it won't be
The fairy tale that I'd dreamed of
