Story of My Life Lyrics

Written on these walls are
The stories that I can't explain
My heart open
I'm empty for days
He tells me in the morning
He don't feel the same about me in his bones
Seems to me that when I die
These words there will be written on my stone
I'll be gone, gone tonight
I open wide
Holding on too tight
Nothing in between
Story of my life
He takes me home
Drives all night to keep me warm
Cause I'm frozen
Story of my life
He gives me hope
He spends my love
Until I'm broke on inside
Story of my life
Written on these walls are colors that I can not change
My heart's open here in its cage
And in the morning I can see him in the light upon the hill
I am broken, but untamed, still
I'll be gone, gone tonight
I'm burning bright
I've been holding on too tight
Nothing in between
Story of my life
He takes me home
Drives all night to keep me warm
Cause I'm frozen
Story of my life
He gives me hope
He spends my love
Until I'm broken inside
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
