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 some day
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.
