Only A Heartbreak Away

Only A Heartbreak Away is the 35th release from Dave Filchak. It is about relationships in today’s world. Not just romantic relationships….all relationships and how hard they are to sustain over a long period of time. How tenuous they can be. Like walking along an edge….one slip and you go over, one way or the other. So, the title is a metaphor for “one slip and you are over the edge.” But it also talks about how worth it is to work hard at maintaining relationships that you care about.

Lyrics

It’s Only A Heartbreak Away

She’s the girl that you fell for
But somehow it all slips away
In the moment when you see her
And you can’t find the right words to say
And you see that the distance here
Is not something easily crossed

And it cuts to the bone
You’re facing your life alone
How can we hold on
To a feeling we once held strong

When your heart knows something
That changes the way that you feel
It’s your heart string
Tension sings and it’s only a heartbreak away
Yes it’s only a heartbreak away

I still feel your heart in me
Though I struggle to find my way back
Open arms, joy and laughter
Connection has started to crack
But I swear I won’t lose you
The moments that made this all work

And it cuts to the bone
We both feel that we are alone
How can we hold on
To a feeling we once held strong

When your heart knows something
That changes the way that you feel
It’s your heart string tension sings
And it’s only a heartbreak away
Yes it’s only a heartbreak away

Love come back
My heart is starting to crack
Hold on, hold on
My love I’m coming back

And it cuts to the bone
You’re facing your life alone
How can we hold on
To a feeling we once held strong

When your heart knows something
That changes the way that you feel
It’s your heart string, tension sings
And it’s only a heartbreak away
When the time comes
You will know
Yes it’s only a heartbreak away
Yes it’s only a heartbreak away
