This ain’t nothin’ new, don’t think it’s your invention
That riddle runnin’ through your head
Greater minds than me and you have pondered this question
Even more than the chicken and the egg


What came first, the heartache or the tear?
The pain inside or how you cried the day she disappeared
The more I think about it the more it seems unclear
What came first, the heartache or the tear?


Well, it won’t change thing if you could solve this question
Cause either way she’d still be gone, long gone
Now, you could write the whole thing off and say you’ve learned a lesson
Or sit right here and wonder on and on


REPEAT CHORUS


The more I think about it the more it seems unclear
What came first, the heartache or the tear?
What came first, the heartache or the tear?
