Heartbreak Tonight

Herring Caroline

Different and good 
Easy to please 
A cheerleader's skirt on the backseat 
A childhood worth forgetting 
Her twenties damn depressing 
She eyes another age 
She turns another page 

You change your name 
You don't stay the same 
So it's heartbreak tonight 
And tomorrow's new beginnings 
It's supper on the stove 
And a gambler's winnings 

Raised on the farm 
Raised on Enjoli 
Raised on je ne sais pas 
And some joie de vivre 
Now for the first time 
The end is in sight 
You give me your traditions 
I'll hand off my ambitions 
'Cause it feels so right 

You change your name 
You don't stay the same 
So it's heartbreak tonight 
And tomorrow's new beginnings 
It's supper on the stove 
And a gambler's winnings 

It was when you forgot 
To feel like a fool 
Or notice if they were watching you 
Looking so good 
In front of that mirror 
But living in the back room 
You begin to disappear 

You change your name 
You don't stay the same 
So it's heartbreak tonight 
And tomorrow's new beginnings 
It's supper on the stove 
And a gambler's winnings 
Her winnings
