Heartache That Don't Stop Hurting
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all starts with the same old lines it's over, baby it's over
Nothing about it ever feels good
It knocks you down just like it should
But it goes away it always goes away
Something about this time feels different
It's like I'm in a fight I'm about to lose
It just keeps working on me
It just keeps picking on me
And this might be the tears that keep on falling
They won't stop coming on down
They won't stop raining on down
And baby it's too early to know for certain
But this might be the heartache that don't stop hurting
Man I've tried to kill the pain by shooting whiskey through my brain
But it never works it only makes it worse
So tonight I'm here again throwing punches in the wind
At some enemy that I can't even see
I know I don't want to let it have me
But every time it hits I feel the truth
This might be the heartache that don't stop hurting
It just keeps working on me
It just keeps picking on me
And these might be the tears that keep on falling
They won't stop coming on down
They won't stop raining on down
And baby it's too early to know for certain
But this might be the heartache that don't stop hurting
Tomorrow I'll stand up again
And give it my best shot again
But tonight it sure feels like
These might be the tears that keep on falling
They won't stop coming on down
They won't stop raining on down
And baby it's too early to know for certain
But this might be the heartache that don't stop hurting
It just won't stop hurting

I've been here a bunch of times
I have experienced heartbreak multiple times before
It all starts with the same old lines it's over, baby it's over
The break-up conversation is always the same
Nothing about it ever feels good
The pain of heartbreak is never pleasurable
It knocks you down just like it should
Heartbreak leaves you feeling defeated
But it goes away it always goes away
Eventually, the pain of heartbreak fades
Something about this time feels different
This heartbreak is more intense than past experiences
It's like I'm in a fight I'm about to lose
The pain of heartbreak feels like a losing battle
This might be the heartache that don't stop hurting
This could be the most intense heartbreak yet
It just keeps working on me
The pain of heartbreak feels constant
It just keeps picking on me
The pain of heartbreak feels like it is taunting me
And this might be the tears that keep on falling
I can't stop crying
They won't stop coming on down
My tears keep falling
They won't stop raining on down
My tears won't quit
And baby it's too early to know for certain
It's too soon to tell if this pain will ever go away
Man I've tried to kill the pain by shooting whiskey through my brain
I've turned to alcohol to cope with the pain
But it never works it only makes it worse
Alcohol only intensifies the pain
So tonight I'm here again throwing punches in the wind
I feel like I'm fighting an invisible battle
At some enemy that I can't even see
I'm fighting my own emotions that I can't control
I know I don't want to let it have me
I don't want to let the heartbreak consume me
But every time it hits I feel the truth
The pain of heartbreak reminds me of the reality of the situation
Tomorrow I'll stand up again
I will keep fighting
And give it my best shot again
I will do my best to move on
But tonight it sure feels like
Right now, the pain is unbearable
It just won't stop hurting
The pain of heartbreak feels never-ending
