Hello Heartache Lyrics

[Intro]
La la, la la la, la la
La la, la la la, la la

[Verse 1]
You were perfect, I was unpredictable
It was more than worth it, but not too sensible
Young and foolish seemed to be the way
I was stupid to think that I could stay
Oh, oh, to think that I could stay

[Chorus]
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache
It's not the end, it's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way, but
You will always mean the world to me, love
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache

[Post-Chorus]
La la, la la la, la la
Hello heartache
La la, la la la, la la

[Verse 2]
I was champagne, you were Jameson
Every bad thing we did was so much fun
I've seen your best side, you got to see my worst
It's not the first time, but this one really hurts
Oh, oh, yeah, this one’s gonna, it hurts
[Chorus]
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache
It's not the end, it's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way, but
You will always mean the world to me, love
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache

[Bridge]
La la, la la la, la la (Ooh)
La la, la la la, la la (Ooh)
La la, la la la, la la (Ooh)
Do you know? Do you get? (Do you know? Do you get?)
It’s just goodbye, it’s not the end
(It’s just goodbye, it’s not the end)
Do you know? Do you get? (Do you know? Do you get?)
It’s just goodbye, it’s not the end
(It’s just goodbye, it’s not the end)
Oh

[Chorus]
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache
It's not the end, it's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way, but
You will always mean the world to me, love
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache
[Outro]
La la, la la la, la la
Hello heartache
La la, la la la, la la (Hello heartache)
La la, la la la, la la
Wish it didn't have to be this way, but
You will always mean the world to me, love
Goodbye my friend, hello heartache
La la, la la la, la la

Genius Annotation

“I was champagne/You were Jameson,” Lavigne laments on this straight forward breakup track. The ghouls crowing “la-la-la” in the background amplify Lavigne’s pain, and although the sentiment at the heart of “Hello Heartache” is a simple one, it’s no less impactful.

“Hello Heartache” is the eleventh track from Avril Lavigne’s fifth studio album “Avril Lavigne”.

The song received mixed to positive reviews from critics, who complimented the seriousness of the track but found it to be a weak addition to the album’s track listing. Sam Lansky of Idolator compared “Hello Heartache” to the work of Skyler Grey, while Bradley Stern of MuuMuse compared the angry tone of the song to the work of Alanis Morisette, as well as Lavigne’s debut single “Complicated” in a hugely positive review of the track.
