No one ever told me
It would come to this
What began with such a promise
Would end with such a twistI lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thingIt's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleeplessThis is the sound that's made
When a heart breaksEverybody's laughing
Maybe that's just me
Does something unrequited
Mean it will never be?I lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thingIt's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleeplessThis is the sound that made
When a heart breaksPlease don't leave me hereLife, for now, I've come to fear
You've dropped me off and left me here
With nothing here to find my way
But the lights you take as you pull awayFar ahead the brush is moving
There's others here and good is proving
Nothing's wrong, it's in my mind
Nothing's wrong and I'll be findIt's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless
