I'm surrounded by silence; tormented by dreams...
Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean
It's so still and this... this silence that I can't hardly take
For I can hear, I can hear my heart break

Now these arms are mighty lonesome; guess they're missing you
And I have to admit it... Honey, I miss you too
I sit here in this silence, half asleep, half awake...
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break

Empty days without number, lonely nights I can't bear
That ol' world's gone right on by me. Who's to know? Who's to care?
I keep listenin' for your footsteps, little sounds you used to make
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break
My heart break...
