The Sounds

I can hear a heartbeat, it seems a little strong

I can hear the things that I did wrong

I can hear a thought by looking in her eyes

I can hear all the times she's cried

I can hear the memories as they echo off the wall

Falling from the pictures down the hall

I can hear regret building up inside of me

I can hear all the things I could not see

Those are the sounds of a woman leaving

Stronger than the wind in a willow tree

Those are the sounds of a heart breaking

You can't hear it, but the noise is killing me

I should have heard it coming, but I chose to pretend

I should have recognized that sound way back then

But I just wouldn't listen and didn't want to all those years

Now the truth is ringing clear in my ears

And those are the sounds of a woman leaving

Stronger than the wind in a willow tree

Those are the sounds of a heart breaking

You can't hear it, but the noise is killing me

Those are the sounds of a heart breaking

You can't hear it, but the noise is killing me

I can hear it, and the silence is killing me
