Cover art for Kept lyrics by Matt Nathanson

First of all, I love this entire album. That being said, I think that a man meets the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately she does not feel the same. SHe has feelings for him...but not like that. He helps her through some problem she may have hence "I took her heart, I licked her wounds..." And just like on the rollercoaster he did not keeps his hands, (or his heart) inside the car. It was torn apart...
