my heart has a history

my heart has a history

of hurtin' those who mean the most to me

before you get too close to me

i think you oughta know

while other hearts are holdin' on

while other loves are growin' strong

my heart has a history of lettin' go

the first time i looked into your eyes

i knew this moment would arrive

i got a feelin' you're the one

but my heart keeps tryin' to turn and run

the problem is this happens everytime

my heart has a history

of hurtin' those who mean the most to me

before you get too close to me

i think you oughta know

while other hearts are holdin' on

while other loves are growin' strong

my heart has a history of lettin' go

if we can take this one kiss at a time

then maybe we can tame this heart of mine

i'm telling you the cold

hard truth

i ain't ever been loved by the likes of you

and i ain't ever had this much on the line

but

my heart has a history

of hurtin' those who mean the most to me

before you get too close to me

i think you oughta know

while other hearts are holdin' on

while other loves are growin' strong

my heart has a history of lettin' go

yeah

my heart has a history of lettin' go
