I linger in the shadow glow
Embers slowly dying low
Touch 'em – and the fire still lives on
Through the storm, I'm standing tall
Underneath the waterfall
Hoping for the river to dry out

And sometimes I just fall into your arms
I know it's a dream, but it feels so real
Even though I make the same mistake
I still say, "Stop for a minute, please"

Heartache doesn't last, doesn't last
Heartache doesn't last forever
Heartache doesn't last, doesn't last
Heartache doesn't last forever

I look into the morning skies
Sunlight dancing on my eyes
Yesterday's a million years ago
I need to learn the art of slow
Moving on and letting go
Trust the time to make me whole again

And sometimes I just drift into your voice
I know it's a dream, but it feels so real
Even though I make the same mistake
I still say, "Stop for a minute, please"

Heartache doesn't last, doesn't last
Heartache doesn't last forever
Heartache doesn't last, doesn't last
Heartache doesn't last forever

I linger in the shadow glow
Embers slowly dying low
Touch 'em – and the fire still lives on
