Written in these walls are the stories
That I can't explain
I leave my heart open
But it stays right here empty for days

He told me in the morning
He don't feel the same about us in his bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life I take him home
I drive all night to keep him warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life I give him hope
I spend his love
Until he's broke inside
The story of my life

Written on these walls
Are the colors that I can't change
I leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning now
I see us in the light upon a hill
Althought I am broken
My heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life I take him home
I drive all night to keep him warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life I give him hope
I spend his love
Until he's broke inside
The story of my life

And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you
Is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life I take him home
I drive all night to keep him warm and time
Is frozen
The story of my life I give him hope
I spend his love
Until he's broke inside
The story of my life

The story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life
