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
