How many lives must I live How many lies must I hear How many times must I feel so blue How many times must I lose you All I hear now Is the sound of my heart breakin' down Or losing ground How many bridges must I burn How many lessons must I learn How many times must I ask you to stay How many times will you push me out of your way All I hear now Is the sound of my heart breaking down losing ground All I hear now Is the sound of my heart losing ground slowing down Maybe somebody will show me a better way Maybe somebody will know me someday How many times must I hear your voice Inside my dreams your answering machine You're always there and everywhere in between All I hear now Is the sound of my heart slowing down Can ya hear the sound All I hear now Is the sound of my heart leaving town breakin' down Slowin' down losin' ground breakin' down and stopping here All I hear now All I hear now
