Tonight I'm leavin' on the midnight train.
To stay would be to leave a lie.
I'm stingin' from the fire of your farewell kiss.
Disappointment in your eyes.

I left you in the rain.
So I wouldn't see you cry.
I can't escape the pain.
When it's you that I want,
But I can't tie my love down inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating,
It's always breaking.

Tomorrow I'll be far away from here.
Not far enough to ease the pain.
Will you leave a light on in the night for me.
Will I jump this midnight train?

I'm standing in the rain.
So no one can see me cry.
My tears are shed in vain.
Cuz nothing can change
The will of this cold wind inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating,
It's always breaking.

I left you in the rain.
So I wouldn't' see you cry.
I can't escape the pain.
When it's you that I want.
But I can't tie my love down inside.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
And as long as it's beating.
It's always breaking.

I got a rebel heart.
I gotta run and it's tearing me apart.
I got a rebel heart.
I got a rebel heart.
I got a rebel heart.
