Lyrics
The Loneliest Sound
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The saddest sounds are the words goodbye
The softest sounds are the tears I cry
You walked away, and then I found
A heart that breaks is the loneliest sound.
The cruelest sound that I have known
Is the silence when I'm left alone
You broke my heart and turned me down
And now I've heard the loneliest sound.
The words that you found someone new
Keep pounding and pounding in my brain
And your footsteps as you walk, you walk away
Keep adding, adding to my pain.
The happiest sound I'll never hear
Are just three words, oh I love you my dear
So I guess I'll hang around
Hearing just the loneliest sound.
Drives me crazy
Can't stand it anymore
Aw it's getting to me...
