"The Sounds" (by Alan Jackson)

I can hear her heartbeat
It seems a little strong
I can hear the things that I did wrong
I can hear her thoughts
By looking in her eyes
I can hear all the times she cried

I can hear the memories
As they echo off the wall
Falling from the pictures down the hall
I can hear regret building up inside of me
I can hear all the things I could not see

Chorus
Those are the sounds of a woman leaving
Stronger than the wind in a willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breaking
You can't hear it
But the noise is killing me

I should've heard it coming
But I chose to pretend
I should have recognized that sound way back then
I just wouldn't listen
Or didn't want to all those years
Now the truth is ringing clearly in my ears

Chorus
Those are the sounds of a woman leaving
Stronger than the wind in a willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breaking
You can't hear it
But the noise is killing me

Those are the sounds of a heart breaking
You can't hear it
But the noise is killing me

I can hear it and the silence
Is killing me
