Heard a key in the door, boots on the floor
Flip of the kitchen light
Then he zipped up his coat
Cleared his throat
That's when he said goodbye
The saddest song I can't forget
And now it's stuck in my head

That's the sound of a heartbreak
Hits you like a hard rain
Screamin' like a freight train
Comin' down the tracks
Quiet as a teardrop fallin'
'Cause he still ain't callin'
So you pour more whiskey in your glass
I can't turn it down
It's so quiet that it's loud
That's the sound of a heartbreak

Feels like it shattered
Like nothin' mattered
Like it'll never be the same
You start to let go
But then it echoes
Every time you hear his name

That's the sound of a heartbreak
Hits you like a hard rain
Screamin' like a freight train
Comin' down the tracks
Quiet as a teardrop fallin'
'Cause he still ain't callin'
So you pour more whiskey in your glass
I can't turn it down
It's so quiet that it's loud
That's the sound of a heartbreak

Ooh, that's the sound, yeah
It's beatin' like a drum, ringin' in my ear
The minute he was gone, all that I could hear
Was the sound of a heartbreak
The sound of a heartbreak

That's the sound of a heartbreak
Hits you like a hard rain
Screamin' like a freight train
Comin' down the tracks
Quiet as a teardrop fallin'
'Cause he still ain't callin'
So you pour more whiskey in your glass
I can't turn it down
It's so quiet that it's loud
I can't turn it down
It's so quiet that it's loud
That's the sound of a heartbreak
