Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp

For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Story behind the song

Just a reflection of a sad time in my life.

Lyrics

Heartache Or Goodbye


(v1)
Finding you in another’s arms
Guess I’ll never understand
Thought everything was perfect
Just like we had planned

(v2)
Don’t tell me how it happened
Cause I just don’t want to hear
My heart’s already shattered
And I’ve cried out all my tears


(Chorus)
It’s a choice I have to make
But how do I decide
Living with a heartache
Or telling you good-bye
Either way I pay the price
For a hurt I didn’t buy
Living with a heartache
Or telling you good-bye


(v3)
How can I forgive you
When you’ve caused me so much hurt
But if I decide to leave you
Will that only make it worse

(v4)
It’s the cruelest kind of torture
Because I just don’t know
My heart begs me to stay
While my mind tells me to go

Repeat Chorus
