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 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 holding on too 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 Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage I know that in the morning, I see us in the light upon your face Although 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 holding 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 I'll be 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, yeah
