[Verse 1]
It wasn't very long ago that he held me so close
But the little love he had has died for me, who loved him most
He left me for another and didn't say goodbye
And if you're next to love him, then you'll be next to cry

[Chorus]
Get set for a heartache, that's all I can say
Get set, for a heartache's on its way

[Verse 2]
He'll make you think he loves you too, but you'll find it's not true
You'll learn that when you need him most, he'll be with someone new
Your love will all be wasted, that's how it was with me
And soon heartaches will tell you you're just his used-to-be

[Chorus]
Get set for a heartache, that's all I can say
Get set, for a heartache's on its way
