Every Heart

A summer sunburn The smile you earned stumbles and falls The lessons you've learned Choices you've made Your first heartbreak Getting too old for the batman cape Simpler times, wanting to fly Mesmerized by Christmas lights Holding out, giving in All the what ifs and might have beens Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell A starburst rush, your first real crush You're bit by a dog, a yellow school bus Sweet sixteen, that concert you missed Your best friend and your first kiss Learning to fall and wanting it all Believing in Santa clause A letter you wrote A promise you broke Knowing when to say yes and when to say no Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell So far away life can take you Never forget the hearts that shaped you The love of your life The fourth of July The times that you laughed so hard you cried The first day of ballet Hardships you've faced All the memories along the way It's the love you lost, the love you made Makes us who we are today Every heart has a story to tell Some dreams have wings Some are torn at the seams And just sit there on the shelf If you were to walk in my shoes You would see we are all the same So find the love inside yourself Because every heart has a story to tell This is my heart, this is my story to tell Every heart has a story to tell
