You don't wanna be the guy To watch a grown girl cry So you just leave me be I'd rather cry alone Than see you leavin' me You just had to be the one That had to slip away Now that's the way it feels When you feel this way Nothing I could say to make you stay They say I'm overacting It's physical reaction I'm hangin' on a heartache Just another bad break I'll make it with some luck But I'll be laid up for months My heart's in traction My heart's in traction I don't wanna hear the words You've said 'em all before Now you're a well known fact From the back of your hand To the slamming of the door Now I'd rather be alone With just the memory of you So leave me alone I'd rather be a lonely fool Than a fool for you My heart's in traction It's a physical reaction I'm hangin' on a heartache Just another bad break I'll make it with some luck But I'll be laid up for months My heart's in traction My heart's in traction
