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
