Heartbeats in Quiet Rooms

Fate has its own plans for us, doesn't it?

My heart pinned to my sleeve in open view so you can see how much it bleeds

Lost track of every time

I sacrificed my pride

And begged "could you please stay?"

Autumn leaves are falling all around me

But you're not here and it's not the same

Though I toss and turn at night

From a heart that's broken and bruised

Even through all the chaos

I can hear your heartbeats in quiet rooms

Will I cross your mind from time to time?

Farewell, farewell for now

My so called true love

I was patiently impatient to keep you close

I haven't seen your face in years

But you're still sleeping in my clothes

Though I toss and turn at night

From a heart that's broken and bruised

Even through all the chaos

I can hear your heartbeats in quiet rooms

Can you say you're better off inside

This kingdom you built

Where our love goes to die?

I've waited years for your return

And the worst part of it all is that fire still burns

Even through the pouring rain

Will I cross your mind from time to time?

From time to time?

Will I cross your mind from time to time?

From time to time?

Or will our love die?

Will I cross your mind from time to time?

Farewell, farewell for now
