Multiply the Heartaches Lyrics

[Verse]
Once I thought two happy hearts could someday beat as one
But then the third heart came along and now our love is gone
I count the many times I've said "I love no one but you"
But don't be fooled by counting dreams that never will come true

[Chorus]
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer of it tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by every time a heart breaks
The answer of it tells us that it's too late
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches

[Outro]
Subtract one love, and multiply the heartaches

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
