[Verse 1]
I've got this hard kind of heartache
I've got a subtle sting of pain
Making my way from West Virginia
Wondering if I'll see you again

[Verse 2]
I've got this hard kind of heartache
I've got a subtle sting of pain
But if this is what loving will take
I'm bound to let it in again

[Bridge]
To see and to be seen anew
To let my wild heart come unglued
The relativity of truth
You mention in my heroes [?]
As I fumble through some, too

[Verse 3]
I've got this hard kind of heartache
And though I know that it will fade
If this is what loving is gonna take
I know I'll let it in again

[Verse 4]
I've got this hard kind of heartache
Paired with a little bit homesick
Making my way back to the Dogwood State
Wondering which parts of this will stay
[Verse 5]
I've got that hard kind of heartache
I've got a subtle kiss of pain
But if this is what loving will take
Then I'm gonna let it in again

[Outro]
If this song is all you left with me
I'm gonna sing it 'till it ends
