I left my heart at the bottom of a bottle,
A long long time ago,
I spend my days,
Routing around,
In every landfill in this town,
Looking for somthing to stick in my chest,
And keep me alive,
Cos there's nothing left,
Since I left you that night,
The tears have run dry,
But I'm not alive,
Like I was one time,

I feel you beating,
Beating me,
Into a pulp,
Into a plastic,
Mould of what I was,
Before I scattered you round,
Every part of town,
I feel you breathing,
Somewhere out there,
In the cold,
One day I will find you,
One day I will replace you,

I left my tears at the train station,
The day I left this town,
I spend my days,
Moving around,
To keep my feet upon the ground,
Looking for somthing to replace you,
And keep my blood running,
Like these tired legs do,
Since I left you that night,
I never looked back,
But I'm not alive,
Like I was one time,

I feel you beating,
Beating me,
Into a pulp,
Into a plastic,
Mould of what I was,
Before I scattered you round,
Every part of town,
I feel you breathing,
Somewhere out there,
In the cold,
One day I will find you,
One day I will replace you,

I never looked back,
I'll never go back there,
I never looked back,
That's what I tell myself,

I feel you beating,
Beating me,
Into a pulp,
Into a plastic,
Mould of what I was,
Before I scattered you round,
Every part of town,
I feel you breathing,
Somewhere out there,
In the cold,
One day I will find you,
One day I will replace you,

I think the opening line is very strong...

"I lost my heart at the bottom of a bottle, a long time ago....."

I've always thought if you can come up with something REALLY strong for your oening line, people will get sucked in and pay attention to the rest. You've certainly done that here.

I really like the second verse a lot too, there's something about train stations that just work really well in song.

Great job!!

I like it a lot, Tom. I agree with everything Ron said in his reply. Other than that, I'm not sure what to say. I guess I could say, you are a great songwriter, and I applaud you for that. Cheers to Tom!
