History
One Direction (1D) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've gotta help me, I'm losing my mind
Keep getting the feeling you want to leave this all behind
Thought we were going strong
I thought we were holding on
Aren't we?

No, they don't teach you this in school
Now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do
Thought we were going strong
Thought we were holding on
Aren't we?

You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever

All of the rumours, all of the fights
But we always find a way to make it out alive
Thought we were going strong
Thought we were holding on
Aren't we?

You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever

Minibars, expensive cars, hotel rooms
And new tattoos, good champagne, and private planes
But we don't need anything
'Cause the truth is out
I realise that without you here like there's just a lie
This is not the end
This is not the end
We can make it you know it, you know

You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever

You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever

So don't let me go
So don't let me go
We can live forever
Baby don't you know




Baby don't you know
We can live forever

@@jayjay5202 Harry has stated in an interview that he is about to tour ( just before the COVID-19 )
But it is posponed as the hiatus will take more time.
Recently Louis concert was also posponed in Dubai due to this virus.
As of now if you are a true directioner you can tell that they are happy being solo artists.
And every time you will had noticed that whenever there is a question of when will hiatus will end ?
They all are like it will happen but don't know when ( even once Liam got so frustrated that he wrote on Twitter that i am just tired of giving answers about the hiatus.There are also other members in the band go ask them. )
So basically they don't want the fans to broke even more so they don't actually answer the question.
And Liam also have said in an interview that being solo is more enjoyable as it gives much opportunities and self control on your own album.

I know all these things are bad but it is.
I also want a reunion though.
