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
