History
Louise Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me a runaway
I know you won't understand
Giving you just enough
Stopping just short of love
I know it ain't what you planned
I just thought you should know
These things that I do
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 I'll do what I need to
So I won't repeat all my history
Even if the stars align
And everything let 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
I just thought you should know
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 I'll do what I need to
So I won't repeat all my history
I should've told you
I should've told you
I should've told you
I should've told you
(I should've told you)
No, no, I won't go back
Go back and take you with me
I should've told you
All I had, my history
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
Louise Adams's song History explores the destructive impact of past experiences on present relationships. Essentially, the singer is expressing her reluctance to enter into a relationship with someone because of the baggage she carries from her past experiences with love. In the first verse, she describes how she is leaving before her partner wakes up, calling herself a runaway, revealing that she knows her partner won't understand her actions. She is giving just enough of herself but stopping before she falls in love. The line "It's not about you, I got history" emphatically conveys her message that the way she handles relationships has more to do with her past than her current partner.
The second verse continues to relive the struggle of revealing the secrets of her past to her partner, despite knowing that he deserves better. Her self-doubt and lack of trust are heightened even when things are going well, and the line "Even if the stars align and everything let out just right, you know I'd still hold back" demonstrates how hesitant she is despite everything going well. Her lack of clarity causes pain in his heart as he wants to understand her and accept her for who she is.
In conclusion, Louise Adams's song History is about the struggle of moving forward from history, particularly traumatic experiences that one has gone through the past. The lyrics portray the uncertainty and fear of being burned again, which prevent us from having happy relationships.
