The saddest sounds are the words "goodbye"
The softest sounds are the tears I cry
You walked away and then I found
A heart that breaks is the loneliest sound
The cruelest sounds that I have known
Is the silence when I′m left alone
You broke my heart and turned me down
And now I've heard the loneliest sound
The words that you′ve found someone new
Keep pounding and pounding in my brain
And your footsteps as you walk, you walk away
Keep adding, adding to my pain
The happiest sounds I'll never hear
Are just three words, "Oh, I love you, my dear"
So I guess I'll hang around
Hearing just the loneliest sound
(Hearing just the loneliest sound) Drive me crazy
(Hearing just the loneliest sound) Can′t stand it anymore
(Hearing just the loneliest sound) Always gets to me
(Hearing just the loneliest sound)
