Call it baggage, trauma, guilt or shame; "History" is an ode to the things we carry around with us and the desire to let them go.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Leavin' before vou wake
Call me a run away
I know you won't understand
Givin you just enough
Stoppin just short of love know it ain't what you planned
I just thought you should know
Chorus:
These things that I do
It's not about you
I got history
So please don't be confused
I'm sorry that I'm such a mystery
No no I won't go back
Go back and take you with me
So l'II do what I need to
So I won't repeat all my history
Verse 2:
Even if the stars aligned
And everything laid out just right
You know I'd still hold back
I know it isn't fair
So close but never there
You deserve better than that just thought you should know
Chorus:
These things that I do
It's not about you I got history
So please don't be confused
I'm sorry that l'm such a mystery
No no I won't go back
Go back and take vou with me
So l'Il do what I need to
So I won't repeat all my history
Bridge:
I should have told you (all about my) X4
Chorus:
These things that I do
It's not about you I got history
So please don't be confused
I'm sorry that I'm such a mvstery
No no I won't go back
Go back and take you with me
So l'Il do what I need to
So I won't repeat all my history
