Lyrics
IF A HEART BREAKS
The phone bill?s been paid,
Hear that lonesome ring.
Love song?s being played,
But they still won?t sing.
Their phone bill?s been paid,
They don?t heed the ring.
Love song?s being played,
Neither one will sing.
If a heart breaks
When there?s no one around,
Does anyone hear the sound?
If a love dies
When there?s nobody home,
Does anyone hear the moan?
He hides down the hall,
She stays by the sink.
Distance conquers all,
That?s just how they think.
Silence in the hall,
Quiet by the sink.
They have said it all,
Least that?s what they think.
If a heart breaks
When there?s no one around,
Does anyone hear the sound?
If a love dies
When there?s nobody home,
Does anyone hear the moan?
The mute button?s stuck,
Chances are remote,
This streak of bad luck
Will be all she wrote.
Their mute button?s stuck,
They both seem remote.
Sit and curse their luck,
Both in the same boat.
If a heart breaks
When there?s no one around,
Does anyone hear the sound?
If a love dies
When there?s nobody home,
Does anyone hear the moan?
Chill in the bedroom,
They can see their breaths.
Lifetime bride and groom,
Praying for their deaths.
Still in the bedroom,
Not even a breath.
Lifetime bride and groom,
Now lie joined in death.
If a heart breaks
When there?s no one around,
Does anyone hear the sound?
If a love dies
When there?s nobody home,
Does anyone hear the moan?
If a heart breaks
When there?s no one around,
Does anyone hear the sound?
