"You Stole The Sun From My Heart" was released by Manic Street Preachers on March 8, 1999 and was the third single to be released from the This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours album. All three members of the band - James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire - share the writing credits. Train in Vain is a live cover of The Clash.

The lyric concerns Nicky Wire's dislike of touring. He has said that as much as he enjoys being on stage, he hates the routine of travelling, soundchecks, hotels and the homesickness it causes.

The song title is namechecked in a much later Manic Street Preachers single, Your Love Alone Is Not Enough.
