Shut up, sweetheart, there's something I need you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing that I fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that's hurt me the most
I can no longer romance the thorn
Hearts don't need to bleed to know what they're for
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me
Oh, can't you see?
I take back my sweetness
Cause it's overlooked by your lust
And my songs are unseen because your touch is too tough
And I don't think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I will unfasten myself from your side
And slip away, quiet as a sigh
Cause there'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me
Oh, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, oh, can't you see what your love is doing to me?
I need you to know, I need you to know
You've gotta let me go
Beds filled with suspicion,
And hearts filled with spite
We forget our needs and forget our sight
So quick, so quick to hold
Someone else's worth over our own
No more,
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more, no there'll be no more,
No there'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more for me
Oh can't you see?

“I wrote this a while ago, and am glad it's finally getting a spot. It's sure enough a country song, but has an aggressively articulate blunt yet poetic take on the classic "I'm leaving your no good ass" theme. The first line is "shut up, sweetheart, there's something I need you to hear: I can no longer love the same thing I fear."” —
