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, 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 its cage


[Additional verse on Vevo version:]
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, 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 is 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)

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
