Heartburn


Heartburn

(Rufus Wainwright, Dreamworks Songs ASCAP)

Is this heartbreak
Or is this heartburn
Have I been played
Or do I need a Rolaid
Gotta learn the difference ‘tween I loved ya
The difference ‘tween I love ya
And the symptoms of ebola

Is this heartbreak
Or is this heartburn
Can I be spared from being so dramatic
Gotta learn the difference ‘tween I loved ya
The difference ‘tween I loved ya
And that derailed roller-coaster

Gonna rain down
On my sunny sunday shoes
Guess I best get some galoshes

Let me tell you that this song’s useful
Yes this song’s useful when you’re really drunk
And you gotta learn
The difference ‘tween I love ya
The difference ‘tween I love ya
And whatever
