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
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
It's 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)
Written on these walls are
The colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in it's 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
It's 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)
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
It's frozen
The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broke (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, the story of)
The story of my life
