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 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 too tight with nothing 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 colors that i can t change leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage i know that in the morning now i see ascending 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 holdin on so tight with nothing 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 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 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
