[English]

It must have been him

Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd

That's all it takes

My heart is racing

I stand in a trance

As I stare at the back of a bus

Knowin' there's no use denying

I can't stop thinking 'bout us

The story of a heart, a story all of it mine

Then you took it from me, every glorious line

I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold

And I know I shouldn't have told

My story

Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide

Yet to read the pages where the ink hadn't dried

All emotions pent up inside

My story

...

I tried to resist

But the images keep coming through

So many years

Still I'm defenceless

The house by the lake

His hands restin' a while on the oars

Speaking with quiet conviction

Carefully unlocking doors

The story of a heart, a story all of it mine

Then you took it from me, every glorious line

I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold

And I know I shouldn't have told

My story

Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide

Yet to read the pages where the ink hadn't dried

All emotions pent up inside

My story

Did he see me? (Did he see me?)

Or did I just imagine it all?

Putting a face on a stranger

A face I find more and more hard to recall

Never giving up, I look for you everywhere

Time went by and sadness took the place of despair

In a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part

Like a shadow deep in my heart, forever

Story of a heart, a story all of it mine

Then you took it from me, every glorious line (glorious line)

I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold

And I know I shouldn't have told

My story

Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide

Yet to read the pages where the ink hadn't dried (hadn't dried)

Swept away and lost in love, what was I to do? (Was I to do?)

I just had to read it to you

My story

Story of a heart, a story all of it mine

Then you took it from me, every glorious line

I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold

And I know I shouldn't have told

My story

...
