Story Of My Life
Song sung by: One Direction
PowerPoint: Alyssa Cummings

2. I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
Written in these walls are the stories that I can’t explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she dont feel the same about us in our bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

3. And I’ll be gone , gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I’ve been holding on too tight
With nothing in between

4. The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time… is frozen (the story of, the story of)
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she’s broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

5. Written in these walls are the colors that I can’t change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

6. And I’ll be gone gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I’ve been holdin’ on so tight
With nothing in between

7. The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time … is frozen (The story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)

8. And I’ve been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

9. The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen
I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love
Until she’s broke (until she’s broke) inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
