lyrics

Heartbreak is quiet for me
Not the crying in the rain it's intended to be
Heartbreak is silent for me
Not the burning claret rage of a lover on their knees

I hear it call sometimes, but then again
it's heavy on my mind, a quiet friend

Heartbreak is clear to me
Not the muddy coloured page it's intended to be
Heartbreak's a fear to me
That we'll never be the same now we're honest and clean

I hear it call sometimes, but then again
it's heavy on my mind, a quiet friend
I hear it call sometimes, but then again
it's heavy on my mind, a quiet friend

The higher the ceiling, higher the low
Why do I reach so high to fall?
Where's the harm in letting go
Hearing heartbreak's silent call

And I can feel it creeping down my spine until it's holding me up
I'm grieving for a vision, who knew there was death in falling in love?
I hear it call sometimes (heartbreak is quiet for me) but then again
it's heavy on my mind (heartbreak is silent for me) a quiet friend

The higher the ceiling, higher the low
Why do I reach so high to fall?
Where's the harm in letting go
Hearing heartbreak's silent call
