[Verse 1]
I can hear a heartbeat, it seems a little strong
I can hear the things that I did wrong
I can hear a song by looking in her eyes
I can hear all the times she's cried
[Verse 2]
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 them things I could not see
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
I can hear a heartbeat, it seems a little strong
I can hear the things that I did wrong
I can hear a song by looking in her eyes
I can hear all the times she's cried
[Verse 2]
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 them things I could not see
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
