Beautiful South Hot On The Heels Of Heartbreak Lyrics

Hot On The Heels Of Heartbreak Lyrics

If you could pull yourself away from that mess

 Surely if you could pack a punch then you can pack a dress

 Cause hot on the trail of self-pity is wilderness

 Like hot on the heels of heartbreak is happiness

 

 It's an uphill struggle just to be yourself

 And if I climb too far I'll end up on the shelf

 When sorry's have been said and tears, tears have dried

 I'm still the easy route to easy ride

 

 If you could just have a good word with yourself

 COnvince yourself you're you and no-one else

 Restore your confidence and your pride

 A soldier don't need no-one by their side

 

 It seems as though there's only me to blame

 Pushover must be my middle name

 Just because he flushed love down the drain

 Doesn't mean your little heart can't be reclaimed

 

 And I know that what I've chosen is second best

 And if the passport was there then I'd say yes

 But departure leaves a fully feathered nest

 And this easy bird is easily impressed

 This easy bird is easily impressed

 

 Your little wings broken, nest destroyed

 The love that he talked of, null and void

 If you knew you were a plaything with which they toyed

 Your little heart would now be the employed

 

 Next time I choose to love I'll take good aim

 Miss out on his sweet talk and his blame

 Then when I miss the target I can't complain

 It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain

 It's only the sure-shot actually feels the pain
