Story of a Heart lyrics

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.

Chorus:

The story of a heart,

The story all of it mine,

Then 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.

Story of a heart,

I laid myself open wide,

Yet to read the pages

Where the ink hadn't dried.

All emotions pent up inside my story.

I try to resist,

But the images keep coming through.

So many years,

Still I'm defenseless.

The house by the lake,

His hands resting a while on the oars,

Speaking with quiet conviction

Carefully unlocking doors.

[Chorus]

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.

Story of a heart,

I laid myself open wide,

Yet 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.

Story of a heart,

A story all of it mine,

Then you took it from me

Every glorious line,

All emotions pent up inside my story.

[Chorus]
