"Trade This Heart" lyrics

Now the smoke lingers
The cigarette in your tray
Leaves me longing for your touch

I can feel your fingers
Like a slow arriving train
In the darkness after dusk

All the times I tried to find your blood in my veins
All the times I tried to feel the sun on your face
And now you're gone

So tell me once before you go
Would you trade this heart
For one you barely know
Would you trade this heart
When the game begins
When the game begins
Will the reins be given to me
Once before you go
Would you trade this heart

I'll miss the way you whisper
The way your smile unfolds
The taste of coffee on your teeth

I'll miss the morning after
Your lashes on my chest
As you descend beneath the sheets

All the times I tried to find the answer to your rage
All the times I tried to hold your head above the waves
And now I'm drowned

So tell me once before you go
Would you trade this heart
For one you barely know
Would you trade this heart
When the game begins
Will the chains be taken from me
Once before you go
Would you trade this heart?
