A Heartbeat To The Sound Of A Tear

[Verse 1] The room is cold, but I still feel your skin,

A thousand memories beneath my skin.

Your side of the bed holds the shape of goodbye,

And I still ask the darkness the reason why.

The clock keeps moving, but I’m standing still,

Chasing a ghost that I can’t seem to kill.

I close my eyes, but you’re all that I hear,

A love fading out with the fall of a tear.

[Pre-Chorus] And I tried to be strong,

Tried to carry on,

But the silence gets louder

Now that you’re gone.

[Chorus] I hear a heartbeat to the sound of a tear,

A thousand unspoken words drowning in fear.

Every beat is a memory, every breath is goodbye,

And I’m breaking in pieces with your name on my mind.

If love was forever, why did forever disappear?

Why does your absence feel louder than you were here?

I’m still reaching for a love that’s no longer there,

With a heartbeat to the sound of a tear.

[Verse 2] Your picture is fading beside the front door,

I tell myself I don’t need you anymore.

But the rain on the window still whispers your name,

And nothing feels different, yet nothing’s the same.

I gave you the pieces I struggled to save,

You held all my dreams, then you walked away.

Now I’m learning the language of living alone,

With a heart full of echoes in an empty home.

[Pre-Chorus] And I tried to let go,

But my heart doesn’t know

How to stop loving someone

It can’t hold anymore.

[Chorus] I hear a heartbeat to the sound of a tear,

A thousand unspoken words drowning in fear.

Every beat is a memory, every breath is goodbye,

And I’m breaking in pieces with your name on my mind.

If love was forever, why did forever disappear?

Why does your absence feel louder than you were here?

I’m still reaching for a love that’s no longer there,

With a heartbeat to the sound of a tear.

[Bridge] Maybe somewhere, beneath all this pain,

We’re still dancing in the summer rain.

Maybe somewhere, you’re missing me too,

Maybe my heart still belongs to you.

But if I could hold you one last time tonight,

I’d tell you I loved you, I’d tell you goodbye.

And I’d let you go, though it tears me apart,

With your name on my lips

And your ghost in my heart

[Final Chorus] I hear a heartbeat to the sound of a tear,

The last little echo of everything dear.

Every beat says I love you, every breath says let go,

But how do you bury a love you still know?

If love was forever, why did forever disappear?

I would give all my tomorrows just to have you here.

Now the silence is singing the words we couldn’t share,

And I'm left with a heartbeat to the sound of a tear

[Outro] One beat for the love…

One tear for the years…

One heart still calling

For someone who isn't here.

And somewhere in the silence,

You're still everywhere…

A heartbeat…

To the sound…

Of a tear.
