Michael W. Smith's song "All You're Missin' Is a Heartache" warns against the allure of worldly temptations and the emptiness that follows chasing after what glitters. It speaks to the inner struggle of doubt and pride, urging listeners to recognize that the fleeting pleasures of sin lead only to heartache and regret. The song encourages a turn from destructive paths toward a more grounded, faithful life, subtly pointing to the peace found in trusting God rather than succumbing to the voices that call away from Him.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's over the line - a shadow of doubt
From outside looking at the "In Crowd"
(Tempting voices are calling you)
They look mighty fine - a sight to behold
But all that glitters is not gold
(Still those voices are calling you)
[CHORUS]
All your missin' is a heartache
A disillusion for a keepsake
A life of living with your own mistake
All you're missin' in a heartache
The water is high - you're out on a limb
Well, if you take the fall then it's "sink or swim"
(Clouds of reason will follow you)
You're kissing the dark
You're courting your pride
You wonder is it greater on the other side
(But they have nothing to offer you)
[CHORUS]
