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 He told me in the morning he don't feel the same about us in his 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 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 he'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 And I'll be gone gone tonight The fire beneath my feet is burning bright The way that I been holdin' on so tight With nothing in between Hey Oh oh oh 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 he's broke inside The story of my life The story of my life I take her home I drive all night to keep her warm and time Is frozen
