My heart has a history
Of hurting those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holding on
While other loves are growing strong
My heart has a history of letting go

The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew this moment would arrive
I got a feeling you're the one
But my heart keeps trying to turn and run
The problem is this happens everytime 'cause

My heart has a history
Of hurting those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holding on
While other loves are growing strong
My heart has a history of letting 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 that
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 hurting those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holding on
While other loves are growing strong
My heart has a history of letting go
Yeah, my heart has a history of letting go
