When A Heart Breaks - Dave Barnes

No one ever told me

It would come to this

What began with such a promise

Would end with such a twist

I lean into the whisper

But I don’t hear a thing

It’s a tear in the dark

All alone in the car

In pieces, in pieces

It’s the sound of mistake

As I lie here awake

Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made

When a heart breaks

Everybody’s laughing

Maybe that’s just me

Does something unrequited

Mean it will never be?

I lean into the whisper

But I don’t hear a thing

It’s a tear in the dark

All alone in the car

In pieces, in pieces

It’s the sound of mistake

As I lie here awake

Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made

When a heart breaks

Please don’t leave me here

Life, for now, I’ve come to fear

You’ve dropped me off and left me here

With nothing here to find my way

But the lights you take as you pull away

Far ahead the brush is moving

There’s others here and good is proving

Nothing’s wrong, it’s in my mind

Nothing’s wrong and I’ll be find

It’s a tear in the dark

All alone in the car

In pieces, in pieces

It’s the sound of mistake

As I lie here awake

Sleepless, sleepless
