Sound of Heartbreak

lyrics

Nothing hurts more than the subtle shift
of your body as you turn towards the wall 
Your face tilted away from me
saying nothing at all 

Nothing stings more than the cold that seeps
in my bones when you pull away 
The plunge of my mind when your hand slips from mine
and I’m clawing at answers, hoping you’ll stay

  Nothing tears me apart like the wall
you put up between us in our bed
 The palpable inches between your back
and my chest an ocean, my hands of lead 

And all I want is to reach out and touch you
but I turn away instead 
And the toxic spiral begins and takes
over my head again and I  

The sound of heartbreak is a deafening silence,
The gentle click of a closing door 
It’s the rustle of sheets as you turn your back to me
 Words left unspoken fall to the floor  

It kills me to see the blank look on your face
when you won’t meet my eyes
 To hear the stone-cold tone of your voice
when you tell me that you’re fine

I hate to see your mouth become
a thin unforgiving line
 And I want to shout out or shake you but
I don’t want to push you too far, I hold it inside  

The sound of heartbreak is a deafening silence,
 The gentle click of a closing door 
It’s the rustle of sheets as you turn your back to me 
Words left unspoken fall to the floor

  The sound of heartbreak is soft as snowflakes 
Empty words falling on deaf ears 
It’s the plummeting feeling I did something wrong again 
Anxiety bursting, swallowing tears

  Is it me, is it me, well it must be me
 Is it true, is it true, if you only knew
 If I could, if I could, I would prove to you 
Just trust me, just love me, just tell me the truth

  Cuz the sound of heartbreak is a deafening silence
 The silence, the silence is killing me
 Cuz the sound of heartbreak is a deafening silence
 The silence, the silence is killing me
