Did You Know?
“It’s a Heartache” became a worldwide hit in 1977 and is one of the few songs that reached the Top 10 in both the US and UK charts performed by a Welsh artist. Its raspy, emotional vocal style helped define Bonnie Tyler’s signature sound and set her apart from other pop singers of the era.
Made-Up Lyrics
Heartbreak hits hard / When you love too fast / When you give your soul to a love that won’t last / When you wake up cold and you can’t go back It tears you apart inside / When you play it strong / Tell them you're fine though you know it’s wrong / Trying to be a man with a broken song Heartbreak hits hard / When you fall too late / When you see the truth but you hesitate / And you lose her heart to your own mistakes It breaks your pride inside / When you cross that line / When you beg for love but she’s out of time / And you watch her fade from your life I walk through the city with my head held high / Telling all my friends that I don’t ask why / No feelings I say your name like it means nothing now / Like I never cared and I don’t know how / Still hurting Heartbreak hits hard / When you lose your way / When you give your heart and it slips away / When you wake up alone at the break of day It cuts through your pride inside / When you act so strong / Say you're over her but you’re holding on / Trying to move on with a dead-end song I see your face on another screen / Smiling like you never needed me / Too late I stood in the rain when you walked away / I begged for a chance, you said not today / Too late Heartbreak hits hard / When you close that door / When you swear you’re done but you want her more / And you hide your tears with a fake proud core Now I drive all night with the radio loud / Trying to disappear in a faceless crowd / Telling myself I’ll be alright I keep my jacket on and my heart on ice / Say I don’t believe in love twice / But I still see your eyes
