Story of a Heart

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
 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 defenceless
 The house by the lake
 His hands resting a while on the oars
 Speaking with quiet conviction
 Carefully unlocking doors
 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
 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
 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.
 The story of a heart
