History - The Rifles

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

And if I gave my heart a convincing listen

I’d be giving me a warning sign

No form of apologies

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

A long way to go to get no where

But you can’t put a price on a piece of mind

If I gave my heart a convincing listen

I’d be given 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

All the time that you put me on the back foot

Why would I wanna go and make more history
