Tonight the Heartache's on Me Lyrics

You could'a heard a pin drop
When they walked through the door
I turned my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered
Where's her halo?
She had an angels face
He stood there smilin' holdin' on
To the one who took my place

So tonight the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight, the heartache's on me

I wonder if he told her
She's the best he's ever known
The way he told me every night
When we were all alone
She'll find out when the new wears off
He'll find somebody new
She'll learn what heartache's all about
And what I'm goin' through

But tonight, the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight, the heartache's on me

But tonight, the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight, the heartache's on me

Oh yes tonight,
The heartache's on me
