I ripped my heart right out of the cavity of my chest
I left it bleeding and beating on the platform where the train was
I left it pooling in its own black blood while I stepped
Onto the train that had to take me away from our love
As if there was any other feeling that I could expect
Except the pain that the distance insidiously creates
A pain so severe it leaves me here trying to connect
As the train rumbles on and our lives separate
All week long I sit alone in silence and reflect
How we are so malleable in the hands of our own fates
And with your heart beating within me I can respect
How much pain we are willing to take just to try and make
This love grow, for it is more powerful than anyone knows
I am bleeding out for it so I know it isn't fake
I left my heart there on the platform because its yours to take
And the pain, it can seem so oppressing and extreme
Endless days are endlessly longer without you or so it seems
Because I have to leave something that's come to mean
So much to me, you are the woman of my dreams
There is nothing I wouldn't endure to bring your love to me
So don't you see, now we have each others hearts?
We have each others pain when we are forced to part
And we have had each others love right from the start
And though it hurts I will never let go
Even if  my flesh starts to tear so slow
If I am ripped in half, so be it, at least I died that way for you
Every second apart from you is like forever and there's nothing I can do
I left my heart there for you with no regret
Ripped it right out of my trembling breast
I am no way perfect and sometimes I regress
But with you I know I can be at my best
So I ripped my heart right out there in open air
And I left it for you because I know that you care
I am going to love you forever through the distance
For you the pain isn't too much to bear
