No one ever told me
|
It would come to this
|
What began with such a promise
|
Would end with such a twist
|
I lean into the whisper
|
But I don't hear a thing
|
|
It's a tear in the dark
|
All alone in the car
|
In pieces, pieces
|
It's the sound of mistake
|
As I'm lying awake and
|
Sleepless, sleepless
|
|
This is the sound that's made
|
When a heart breaks
|
|
Everybody's laughing
|
Maybe that's just me
|
Does something unrequited
|
Mean it will never be
|
I lean into the whisper
|
But I don't hear a thing
|
|
It's a tear in the dark
|
All alone in the car
|
In pieces, pieces
|
It's the sound of mistake
|
As I'm lying awake and
|
Sleepless, sleepless
|
|
This is the sound that's made...
|
|
Please don't leave me here
|
Please don't leave me here
|
Please don't leave me here
|
Please don't leave me here
|
|
Life, for now, I've come to fear
|
You've dropped me off and left me here
|
With nothing here to find my way
|
But the light you take as you pull away
|
|
Far ahead the brush is moving
|
There's others here and good still proving
|
Nothing's wrong, it's in my mind
|
Nothing's wrong and I'll be fine
|
|
It's a tear in the dark
|
All alone in the car
|
In pieces, pieces
|
It's the sound of mistake
|
As I'm lying awake and
|
Sleepless, sleepless
|
|
This is the sound that's made
|
When a heart breaks
|
