Heartbreak's A Blessing lyrics - Danko Jones

How many times did I let it slide by When the boys got the pick of the best I didn't know what to do I couldn't pick up a clue Going home all alone in my bed I was a high school loser never made it with a lady When I did, I got the best She knew it all, taught me everything but what I learned Best lesson was when she left I learned Heartbreak's a blessing But you don't know it then It likes to mess your mind up Heartbreak's your best friend I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head I got a wall going 'round my heart I see my friends go through trouble and when trouble's around It always leads to a girl in the end I didn't know it'd be this hard to find Never knew it'd take this long But if I'm gonna have to wait I'm gonna wait I'll probably die an old man alone Heartbreak's a blessing But you don't know it then It likes to mess your mind up Heartbreak's your best friend When I see a pretty lady walking down the street My eyes get overtaken, my knees get weak I can talk the talk but I'm easily tempted Resisting a good looking..woman Ain't so easy in the end I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head I got a wall going 'round my heart I see my friends go through trouble and when trouble's around It always leads to a girl in the end I didn't know it'd be this hard to find Never knew it'd take this long But if I'm gonna have to wait I'm gonna wait I'll probably die an old man alone I like that Heartbreak's a blessing But you don't know it then It likes to mess your mind up Heartbreak's your best friend
