Lyrics
Listening to a Heart Break
Copyright 4/26/89
I looked into your eyes and couldn't believe,
Your heart no longer belonged to me,
I know, I should just turn and walk away,
There's no reason for me to stay,
I just can't face the silence of this night all alone,
You're the only love this heart has ever known,
A heart that lost the chance that she was taking,
I can hear the sound of my heart breaking,
Chorus##
So darlin' hold me tonight for as long as it takes,
I'm listening to a heartbreak,
Help me hold back the tears,
Help me hold back the fears,
I'm listening to a heartbreak,
I'm listening to a heartbreak,
I can hear the whispered secrets, the golden lies,
In my mind I can picture it all,
The love I though would last forever,
Is crumbling beginning to fall,
Chorus##
Bridge
Without the promise of love ever spoken,
My heart was just waiting to be broken,
With you in the arms of someone new,
I'm listening to a heart being torn in two,
Chorus ## Twice
