The trouble with a heartbreak
Don’t let anybody tell ya it’s gonna be easy (’cause it ain’t easy)
Don’t let anyone tell ya they know what it’s like, mmh, when they say
“Get out on this town, meet somebody new, get lost in the crowd”, all I see is you
Don’t let anybody tell ya it’s gonna be easy
And that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, it’s gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breaking down, wondering how
Long that it’s gonna take getting over her
It’s a can’t drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain’t nowhere her memory can’t go
That’s the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah
Thinking ’bout where she is, who she’s driving crazy (driving me crazy, yeah)
Can’t see a rearview sunset without thinking ’bout us
Girl, I still think about us
And that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, it’s gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breaking down, wondering how
Long that it’s gonna take getting over her
It’s a can’t drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain’t nowhere her memory can’t go
That’s the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah
Oh yeah
That’s the trouble with a heartbreak
Get out on this town, meet somebody new
Meet somebody (get out on this town)
Get lost in a crowd, all I see is you
And that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, it’s gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breaking down, wondering how
Long that it’s gonna take getting over her
It’s a can’t drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain’t nowhere her memory can’t go
That’s the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that’s the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah
Heartbreak, heartbreak, oh yeah
That’s the trouble with a heartbreak, oh yeah
The Lingering Pain of Heartbreak
“Trouble With A Heartbreak” by Jason Aldean offers a relatable look at the aftermath of lost love. The lyrics poignantly capture the struggles of moving on when every moment and memory is haunted by a former relationship. Aldean’s storytelling highlights how well-meaning advice from friends often falls flat, as healing isn’t as simple as finding distractions or meeting someone new. The recurring motif of trying to escape — whether through late-night drives or whiskey — only emphasizes the inescapability of heartbreak’s grip. Each verse builds on the raw emotions of longing and the slow, often painful process of letting go, resonating with anyone who has experienced the stubborn persistence of heartache.
