Heartaches by the Number Lyrics

Heartache number one
Was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two
Was when you came back again
You came back and never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you were coming ba-ack to stay
With hopeful heart I waited
For your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Yes, the day that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
