Heartaches
Heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory

Heartaches
Heartaches

What does it matter how my heart breaks?

I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Heartache" by Lawrence and the Comfortable Society seem to be talking about heartbreak and the pain that comes with it. The repetition of the word "Heartaches" at the beginning of each verse shows that the singer is constantly feeling the pain of a broken heart. The singer talks about how loving their partner only led to heartaches, making us assume that the relationship is over.

The line "Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me" suggests that the partner meant a lot to the singer, making their pain even more significant. However, the singer also admits that now it's just a burning memory, which shows they are trying to move on. Yet, the chorus states "What does it matter how my heart breaks? I should be happy with someone new, but my heart aches for you," expressing the singer's reluctance to let go of what they had.

Overall, the lyrics show how difficult it is to move on from a toxic relationship even if it means they will get better in the long run. It is a classic tale of a broken heart and the painful journey of moving on.
