The sound of a tear falling down
The birth of a line in my face
A defending crash that no one can hear
That's the sound that a breaking heart makes

The sound of a fire that's grown cold
The noise that a memory makes
The sound of tide as I lose my mind
That's the sound that a breaking heart makes

A heart breaks so loud yet makes not a sound
You can't hear the light that it takes
You can't hear love die or dreams passing by
These are sounds that a breaking heart makes

[ fiddle - steel ]
A heart breaks so loud...
These are sounds that a breaking heart makes
