[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 [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 [Chorus] Yeah, my heart has a history of lettin' go.
