Take My Heart Outside Verse 1 I woke before the morning knew my name, A quiet cry was drifting through the dark. No thunder rolled, no windows shook with rain, Just someone's sorrow beating in my heart. A shadow wrapped in midnight on the floor, Its shoulders bent beneath a silent sky. It raised its eyes before I spoke a word, And asked me softly, "Why'd you leave me behind?" Pre-Chorus You promised fields... You promised spring... You promised I would learn to breathe again. Chorus Take my heart outside tonight, Let it drink the moonlit light. I've been locked behind your ribs, Counting all the dreams you missed. Drive until the mountains sing, Let the restless forests breathe. Before this borrowed life grows old, Don't leave my soul out in the cold. Verse 2 You filled your days with wars that had no end, You carried every burden but your own. You built a home for everyone you loved, While mine became a prison made of bone. I held the keys with trembling guilty hands, We chased the silver highway through the night. The stars forgave the silence in my chest, And every breath began to feel alive. Bridge If tomorrow steals another year, Will we still be waiting here? How many sunsets must we lose, Before we learn what life is for? Final Chorus Take my heart outside tonight, Leave behind the endless fight. Let it dance beneath the trees, Let it wander with the breeze. If the dawn should call my name, I'll never be the same. 'Cause every promise left undone Becomes the tears of someone... Someone living inside you. Outro Then morning broke... A distant voice... "Wake up... it's time for work." I opened tired eyes again... But my heart... Was still waiting for our trip.
