Lyrics
slammin doors cryin eyes, rainin cold and lonely nights
these are the sounds of a heartbreak
helplessness and bitter pain from the wounds that still remain
this is how it feels when a heart breaks
does anybody know how much time it would take
to look myself in the eye and say
my whole world's been swept away
like an angry tidal wave
oh this is how it feels this is how it sounds
when a heart breaks
blood shot eyes an aching head
wakin up in a stranger's bed
this is what you do when your heart breaks
walkin home with head hung low
and there's no where left to go
this is where you go when your heart breaks
does anybody know how much time it would take
to look myself in the eye and say
lookin thru an empty whiskey glass I see
pictures of the kids with you and me
this is what you do this is where you go
when your heart breaks
this is where you go this is what you do
these are the sounds of a heartbreak
