From the recording Sex May Not Be Love (But It’s A Damn Close Call)
Lyrics
VERSE
Her life had become just standing in the rain
Her heart could feel no more pain
She needed to clear the emotional strain
Find a little sunshine and a lot less rain
PRE-CHORUS
She had thought he was the one
But so did the other woman
First CHORUS
She was seared by the flames of heartache
But freed from the lie she was living
For her, it was the classic mistake
Life was cold and unforgiving
Yet seared by the flames of heartache
VERSE
Would she survive? She says: “Hell, yes.”
No more will she be the lady in distress
There’s plenty of ways out of this mess
She knew she could find her pathway to success
Second CHORUS
She was seared by the flames of heartache
But freed from the lie she was living
Even now it’s much less hard to take
For her new life, she has much thanksgiving
It's good to survive the flames of heartache
SOLO/BRIDGE
Lesson learned; distant memory
But she hopes he’s happy with her
Repeat Second CHORUS/TAG
It’s good to survive the flames of heartache
