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

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

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

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)

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

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

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)

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

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)
