Heartache or Goodbye

This is a song I (Alan) wrote back in 2006. I rerecorded it a couple of months ago using all BIAB backing tracks. You're stuck with my singing - Di just isn't up to it.

Just one question ... is the vocal a little too much up front? I tend to think so. But my 70 year-old ears sometimes deceive me. All comments about that, or anything else, are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Heartache or Goodbye (Bb)

(v1)
Finding you on another’s arms
Guess I’ll never understand
Thought everything was perfect
Just like we’d planned
Don’t tell me how it happened
I just don’t want to hear
My heart’s already shattered
And I’ve cried out my last tear

CHORUS
It’s a choice I have to make
But how do I decide
Living with a heartache
Or telling you goodbye
Either way I pay the price
For a hurt I didn’t buy
Living with a heartache
Or telling you goodbye

(v2)
How can I forgive you
When you caused me so much hurt
But if I decide to leave you’
Will that only make it worse
It’s the cruelest kind of torture
Because I just don’t
My heart begs me to stay
But my mind tells me to go

Repeat Chorus
