Legend in my time

If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time.
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regret
I'd be a legend in my time.
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For hearts that are broke
nor love that's in vain
If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I would be a legend in my time.
