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 (cause)

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
