"The Sounds" (by Alan Jackson)
I can hear her heartbeat It seems a little strong I can hear the things that I did wrong I can hear her thoughts By looking in her eyes I can hear all the times she cried I can hear the memories As they echo off the wall Falling from the pictures down the hall I can hear regret building up inside of me I can hear all the things I could not see Chorus Those are the sounds of a woman leaving Stronger than the wind in a willow tree Those are the sounds of a heart breaking You can't hear it But the noise is killing me I should've heard it coming But I chose to pretend I should have recognized that sound way back then I just wouldn't listen Or didn't want to all those years Now the truth is ringing clearly in my ears Chorus Those are the sounds of a woman leaving Stronger than the wind in a willow tree Those are the sounds of a heart breaking You can't hear it But the noise is killing me Those are the sounds of a heart breaking You can't hear it But the noise is killing me I can hear it and the silence Is killing me
