I'm aching and you're aching with these dull and empty hearts
We're waiting for somebody to rip our ribs apart
And to seize with a steady hand our dull and empty hearts, our hearts

I'm taking and you're taking, we've forgotten how to give
I'm faking it, you're breaking it and it's just the way it is
So we'll leave here tonight but not before we give each other back our hearts

'Cos our love
Left us long ago
When we were both asleep
Leaving bloodstains in the snow.

I'm waiting and you're waiting but this train's not gonna come
You're voice has started grating and I hate what we've become
See there's no future at this station, we're just feeding off the crumbs of our hearts.

I'm shaking and you're shaking, it's just the way it's got to be
In this love abandoned Autumn we'll go raking up the leaves, yeah
The leaves that have fallen from these cold and dying trees in our hearts.

'Cos our love
Left us long ago
When we were both asleep
Leaving bloodstains in the snow.

Well, I'm lonely like you're lonely but it's only 'cos it's thrown me
Like it's thrown you I don't own you and my darling, you don't own me
And it's kicking and it's yelling and it's bruising and it's swelling
But the writings on the wall and we both know what it's been telling us to do
Telling us to do.

Well, I'm crying and you're crying in to silent salty lakes
The road has turned to ice and we haven't any brakes
So while the wall keeps getting closer
I fear its too late not to break our hearts.
