story of a heart

this is my story

a story of a heart

and all of it mine

it must have been him

just a glimpse of a face in the crowd

that's all it takes

my heart is racing

i stand in a trance

as i stare at the back of a bus

knowing there's no use denying

i can't stop thinking about us

the story of a heart

the story all of it mine

and you took it from me

every glorious line

i was safe and warm

and now i'm out in the cold

and i know i shouldn't have told my story

i try to resist

but the images keep coming through

so many years

still i'm defenceless

the house by the lake

his hands resting a while on the oars

speaking with quiet conviction

carefully unlocking doors

story of a heart

i laid myself open wide

let to read the pages

where the ink hadn't dried

all emotions pent up inside

my story

did he see me

or did i just imagine it all

putting a face on a stranger

a face i find more and more hard to recall

never given up

i look for you everywhere

time went by and sadness took the place of despair

in a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part

like a shadow deep in my heart forever

(the story of a heart

the story all of it mine)

it's a story of a heart

(and you took it from me

every glorious line)

a story of a heart

(i was safe and warm

and now i'm out in the cold)

i'm giving it back

the story of a heart

i laid myself open wide

let to read the pages

where the ink hadn't dried

swept away and lost in love what was i to do

i just had to read it to you

my story

a story of a heart

and all of it mine

now you've heard my story
