Story of My Life Lyrics

[KURT]
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 morning 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

[BLAINE]
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holding on too tight
With nothing in between

[BLAINE & KURT]
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen (The story of, the story of)
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, the story of)

[BLAINE]
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

[BLAINE with KURT (BLAINE)]
I know that in the morning now I 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 burning bright
(The way that I've been) holding on so tight
With nothing in between

[BLAINE & KURT]
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen (The story of, the story of)
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, the story of)

[KURT]
And I've been waiting for this time to come around

[BLAINE]
But, baby, running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen

[KUR & (BLAINE)]
The story of my life, I give her hope (Give her hope)
I spend her love
[BLAINE & KURT]
Until she's broke inside
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (The story of my life, the story of)
The story of my life
