Behind the bar I see some crazy things
I watch those disappearing wedding rings
A telephone call pagin' so and so
There he is shakin' his head no
'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him
He can't quit now, he's gone out on a lim
Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tom
Guess who happened to walk in the room

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

She walks on over
Tears in her eyes
And knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies
The silence is deafening
All eyes are on her
What will she say to that innocent girl
Her hands start shakin'
'Cause the words don't come
She's in shock, her whole body is num
Everyone there is holdin' their breath
With the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

You could've heard a heart break
