History
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I do from here is none of your concern
It didn't work, yeah I know it hurts
But it's gotta give before it gets much worse
Ooh, gotta give up on you, ooh
Ooh, gotta give up on you, on you
We've got a lot of history
But there's too much space between you and me
But do I have the guts in me
To leave, leave, pack my shit and leave
Leave, leave
The irony gets the best of me
I'm sad that we split, but you're still happy
What I gave to you was more than memories
What you took from me wasn't worth anything
Ooh, gotta give up on you, ooh
Ooh, gotta give up on you, on you
We've got a lot of history
But there's too much space between you and me
You have plans, yeah I have dreams
But do I have the guts in me
To leave, leave, pack my shit and leave
Leave, leave, oh
You never cared enough, you never earned my trust
You just took what you could get
You never lift me up, I never feel your love
I know exactly what this is
I'm tired of the weight when you lean on me
If I fell you would never stay to carry me
'Cause we've got a lot of history
But there's too much space between you and me
You have plans, yeah I have dreams
But do I have the guts in me
To leave, leave, pack my shit and leave
Leave, leave
The song "History" by Boys of Fall touches on the topic of letting go of a relationship that has a lot of history, but where the distance between the two partners has become too much to bear. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they cannot continue in the same way, and that they must give up on their partner. The fact that it did not work out hurts, but it is better to let go before it leads to further pain.
Throughout the song, the theme of letting go and moving on is emphasized. The chorus highlights the fact that although the two partners share a lot of history, they are now too far apart to remain together. The singer questions whether they have the courage to pack their things and leave the relationship behind.
The bridge section of "History" describes the emotional toll that the relationship has taken on the singer. They feel that their partner never cared enough or earned their trust, and that they only took what they could get from the relationship. The singer is tired of carrying the weight of the relationship and knows that their partner would not be there for them if they were to fall.
In summary, "History" is a poignant reminder that relationships can falter and that sometimes it is necessary to let go, even when there is a lot of history and memories at stake.
