(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.
