Dragging back the only guilt free cigarette that I've had in a while 
Are you trying to forget the reason that you quit before smoke went out of style? 

And I'm going out at nights picking losing fights with bigger tougher guys 
'Cause you're hoping if you lose, it might leave you confused and drive me from your mind 
But no matter what I do to repent and self abuse, and hide it inside, I still don't feel alive 

So go ahead and take this heart away, go ahead and take it it's not mine 
I don't want it for the rest of time, if you're not in my life 
Go ahead and take this heart away, go ahead and drag it 'cross the floor 
'Cause I don't wanna use it any more, just leave me hollow inside 

And I see people laughing, singing, clapping, enjoying their lives 
Children playing, swinging swaying, chasing butterflies 
And all these things I view, make me think of you and I want that back, but if its too late for that 

Just go ahead and take this heart away, go ahead and take it it's not mine 
I don't want it for the rest of time, if you're not in my life 
Go ahead and take this heart away, go ahead and drag it 'cross the floor 
'Cause I don't wanna use it any more, just leave me hollow inside 

No matter how I fight it , I'm growing kinda tired of holding it together 
And though part of me is gone, I keep on hanging on but if it doesn't get better 

Just go ahead and take this heart away, go ahead and take it it's not mine 
Take this heart away, go ahead and drag it 'cross the floor 
I don't wanna use it any more, just leave me hollow inside 
Take this heart away, leave me hollow inside 
Go on and take this heart away, leave me hollow inside
