Lyrics to Heartache By Numbers
as recorded by Bryan Ferry

(Ferry/Scissor Sisters)

I can’t stop from thinking

That love makes no sense

I’m burned out from dreamin’

Like nobody else

Midnight to daybreak

I can’t believe the pain

The way you look

The way you talk

The way you walk away

(Oh, I can’t take)

CHORUS:

Heartache by numbers

From violet to grey

I paint all your colours

I wash them away;

I live for the moment

I long for the day

You walk in my garden

You lie in my shade

Every night I run around

With every girl in town

I would rather stay at home

If you were still around

Midnight to daybreak

I’d do it all again

The way you look

The way you talk

I’d be your lover, not your friend

(Oh, I can’t stay)

Guitar & Keys Solos

Midnight to daybreak

I’d do it all again

The way you look

The way you talk

I’d be your lover, not your friend

(Oh, I can’t stay)

Choral Chorus Break

Chorus Repeat ( and “Aaaah”+ Sax to end).
