History

Won't you please stop telling me
I know you're not so blind to see
That everything that was correct
Is wrong and I know that it ain't just me
But given half the chance to be near you
Would only make a start in a new decline
If I gave my heart a convincing listen
I'd be giving me a warning sign
No form of apology
Would ever start to stitch the seam
Now it ain't that hard to see
That we were only cutting teeth dear
Would only make a start in a new decline
If I gave my heart a convincing listen
I'd be giving me a warning sign 'so'
For the last time, drop me a lifeline
Days alone they roll into a week
I can't get away when you fall down at my feet
And I'm happy with sweet memories
So why would I wanna go and make more history
So don't you say that it's gonna be
Another chance that we won't repeat
Did you think I would turn around?
Now you know that I know what a fool would believe
When given half a chance to be near you
Would only male a start in a new decline
And if I gave my heart a convincing listen
I'd be giving me a one way sign 'so'
For the last time just drop me a lifeline
Days alone they roll into a week
I can't get away when you fall down at my feet
And I'm happy with sweet memories
So why would I wanna go and make more history
All the time that you put me on the back foot
Why would I wanna go and make more history
