[Zwrotka 1]
Heartache, do you want to make it?
Or do you want to take it?
I'm sorry, if I played your guitar too hard
But you didn't have to rip all the strings off my heart
I didn't know that you were coming in
Cause you were coming in low
Never bring your own talent to a rock show

[Refren 1]
Does it have to be a tragedy always?

[Zwrotka 2]
Heartache, do you want to make it?
Or would you rather take it?
I didn't think that you meant
What you said when you said it to me
I'd have to spend another weekend there of heartbreak

[Refren 2]
Does it have to be a tragedy?
Does it have to be a tragedy always?

[Zwrotka 3]
I always thought that my broken heart would fix yours
Looks pretty clear when I look in the mirror
I've only broken mine more
Do you wanna make it? (Do you wanna make it?)
Or do you wanna take it? (Or do you wanna take it?)
Do you wanna make it? (Do you wanna make it?)
Or would you rather take it? (Or would you rather take it?)

[Bridge]
I didn't know that you you were coming in so low
I didn't think that you meant what you said to me
Does it have to be a heartache? A heartache
Does it have to be a heartache? A heartache

Chorus]
Does it have to be a tragedy?
Does it have to be a tragedy?
Does it have to be a tragedy always?
