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

She told me in the mornin'

she don't feel the same

about us in her 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

holdin' on too tight

with nothin' in between

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night

to keep her warm

and time is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

until she's broke inside

the story of my life

Written on these walls

are the colours

that I can't change

leave my heart open

but it stays right here

in its cage

I know that

in the mornin' now

see us in the light

upon a hill

although I am broken

my heart is untamed still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

the fire beneath my feet

is burnin' bright

the way that I've been

holdin' on so tight

with nothin' in between

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night

to keep her warm

and time is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

until she's broke inside

the story of my life

And I'll be

waitin' for this time

to come around

but baby, runnin' after you

is like chasin' the clouds

The story of my life

I take her home

I drive all night

to keep her warm

and time is frozen

The story of my life

I give her hope

I spend her love

until she's broke inside

the story of my life

The story of my life...

the story of my life...

the story of my life
