(mark d. sanders/paul brandt)
Chorus:
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
(repeat chorus)
If we can take this one kiss at a time
maybe we can tame this heart of mine
i'm telling 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, but
(repeat chorus)
Yeah, my heart has a history of lettin' go.
