I don't want to go home to heartache
I don't want to go home it's too late
I'd rather stay out all night long
And walk the empty streets alone, it's better
Thank going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache

And I don't want to pretend it's still good with us
I don't want to pretend we're still in love
I'd rather waste the night away
Somewhere where the blues is played, it's better
Than going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache

There's no point in us dragging it out any longer
It only makes things worse
Let's face the truth get it over
Love should be a joy not a curse

I don't want to go on slowly drifting apart
I don't want to go on when everyday you break my heart
I'd rather take my things and leave
And love you in a memory, it's better
Than going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache

There's no point in us dragging it out any longer
It only makes things worse
Let's face the truth get it over
Love should be a joy not a curse

And I don't want to go home to heartache
I don't want to go home, it's too late
I'd rather stay out all night long
And walk the empty streets alone, it's better
Than going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache
Than going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache
Than going home when home is only
To a lonely heartache
