Description
Silence in a room is louder than any argument. They lie side by side - almost touching, but as if through glass. It's still the same faces, the same bed, but the air is different - clear, cold, like the morning after a thunderstorm. Once, every word was a spark, but now even a flicker is rare, and the heart is learning to accept silence instead of confessions. Love doesn't fall apart all at once - it just slowly dissolves until what remains of "we" are two people politely sharing a blanket.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Hazel eyes looking right through me, like you're staring at a ghost.
There's no point sitting through the movie, when I know where it goes.
So I try, try, try, but I can't change your mind.
You don't have to say a thing, 'cause the silence says goodbye, oh. This is the way your heart breaks.
You're laying by me, but sleeping so far away. Feels like I'm looking at a stranger's face.
Oh God, this is the way that it breaks. You're slowly slipping away.
You call me baby, now you call me by name.
You say, "Maybe we should take some space. " Oh God, this is the way that it breaks.
This is the way your heart breaks.
It'll hurt more, honestly, if you're going through the motions. Give me something, anything.
I'll take a tiny spark or an explosion.
And I try, try, try, but I can't change your mind.
You don't have to say a thing, 'cause the silence says goodbye. This is the way your heart breaks.
You're laying by me, but sleeping so far away. Feels like I'm looking at a stranger's face.
Oh God, this is the way that it breaks. You're slowly slipping away.
You call me baby, now you call me by name. You say, "Maybe we should take some space.
" Oh God, this is the way that it breaks.
This is the way your heart breaks.
This is the way your heart breaks. You're laying by me, but sleeping so far away.
Feels like I'm looking at a stranger's face.
Oh God, this is the way that it breaks. You're slowly slipping away. You call me baby, now you call me by name.
You say, "Maybe we should take some space.
" -Oh God, this is the way that it breaks. -This is the way your heart breaks.
You're -laying by me, but sleeping so far away. -This is the way your heart breaks.
Feels like I'm looking at a stranger's face.
This is the way your heart breaks.
