This Is How My Heart Heard

This is how my heart heard

That little thing in tears they call the truth -

It said, Be done with her, she's done with you

This is how my heart heard

This is how my arms burn,

That used to hold her tight until the dawn

And now they weep to find that she is gone

This is how my heart heard

I forgot the taste of fears

And how they haunt the lips you're kissing;

And how the soul can waste its tears

On someone who is missing

And how I shed such tears but never cry,

This is how I want her,

And how I kiss her lips and taste good-bye

This is how I want her

(Instrumental)

I forgot the taste of fears

And how they haunt the lips you're kissing;

And how love's just a waste of tears

On someone who is missing

This is how I want her

And how I shed such tears but never cry

And how I tasted lips that kissed good-bye

This is how my heart heard

This is how my heart heard

This is how my heart heard
