Story of My Life

While I'm looking at him I see you in the corner of my eye When my thoughts are racing for him You're in the back of my mind My friends are speaking for me Telling me I like him Maybe secretly I like you But who am I to argue with them Oh here we go again...'Cause I'm Saying something And meaning something else Trying to hide the truth And only hiding myself Laughing at times When maybe I should cry Being in love with you And dating some other guy This is the… Story of my life My hand held tightly in his But I’m remembering yours He kisses me slowly And the memories pour Of your finger stroking my face Your breath against my ear Speaking only with our eyes In a language only we could hear Now life feels so austere…’Cause I’m Saying something And meaning something else Trying to hide the truth And only hiding myself Giving up at times When maybe I should try Being in love with you And dating some other guy Story of my life Right now life Is messed up from before and after But if life Is a story I want you in every chapter ‘Cause I’m Saying something And meaning something else Trying to hide the truth And only hiding myself Laughing at times When maybe I should cry Being in love with you And dating some other guy Story of my life Yeah you’re the story of my life
