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
Knowin' there's no use denying
I can't stop thinking 'bout us

The story of a heart, a 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 tried to resist
But the images keep coming through
So many years
Still I'm defenceless
The house by the lake
His hands restin' a while on the oars
Speaking with quiet conviction
Carefully unlocking doors

The story of a heart, a 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? (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 giving 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, a story all of it mine
Then you took it from me, every glorious line (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 (hadn't dried)
Swept away and lost in love, what was I to do? (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
I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold
And I know I shouldn't have told
My story
