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      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      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      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   Yeah, my heart has a history of lettin' go
