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 song could 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 goodbye This is how I want her 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 goodbye This is how my heart heard This is how my heart heard This is how my heart heard
