Nothing but a Heartache
C.C. CATCH Feat: 7or8 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, the more you live - more you love again
Heaven can be cold - heaven can be hot
In the middle of the night - oh you need some love
That's no fantasy - loving me
Oh, that's extasy - next to me
When you understand - you're man
Oh, just calling me
It's nothing but a heartache
Friends and strangers side by side
It's nothing but a heartache
You wasted days and nights
(I told her I never fall in love)
On the wings of love I'll fly to you
A rainbow at midnight - all your dreams come true
Running with the night - running with a touch
Shadows of your smile - are telling me so much
That's no fantasy - loving me
Oh, that's extasy - next to me
When you understand - you're man
Oh, just calling me
It's nothing but a heartache
Friends and strangers side by side
It's nothing but a heartache
You wasted days and nights
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
You've been born again
Another heart you undercover
Love is not a game
It's nothing but a heartache
Friends and strangers side by side
It's nothing but a heartache
You wasted days and nights
The lyrics of C.C. Catch's song "Nothing But a Heartache" paint a picture of a person going through the ups and downs of love. The song starts with the line "Tears are not enough - oh, you lose a friend," which hints at the sadness that comes with ending a relationship. However, the lyrics then move towards a more optimistic view of love, with lines like "Baby, the more you live - more you love again" and "When you understand - you're man/Oh, just calling me."
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "It's nothing but a heartache," which seems to suggest that love is simultaneously incredibly rewarding and incredibly painful. The bridge of the song is particularly interesting, as it contrasts the idea of "daytime friends and nighttime lovers" with the idea that "love is not a game." This creates a sense of tension in the lyrics which matches the emotional rollercoaster of relationships.
