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 every time
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
Maybe we can tame
this heart of mine
I'm tellin' 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
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
