[Verse]

            
Written in the

              
se walls are t

         
he stories tha

              
t I can't expl


ain
            
I leave my hea

              
rt open but it

         
 stays right h

              
ere empty for 

   
days
            
She told me in

              
 the morning s

         
he don't feel 

              
the same about

              
 us in her bon


es
            
It seems to me

              
 that when I d

         
ie these words

              
 will be writt

            
en on my stone


[Pre-Chorus]

             
And I'll be go

         
ne gone tonigh

t
              
The ground ben

             
eath my feet i

       
s open wide
              
The way that I

             
 been holdin' 

      
on too tight
              
With nothing i

    
n between


[Chorus]

   
The story of m

y life I take 

her home
             
I drive all ni

              
ght to keep he

The story of m

y life I give 

her hope
             
I spend her lo

              
ve until she's

         
 broke inside
             
The story of m

  
y life (the st
