History
Scandal'us Lyrics

A turn of the key early in the morning
The beginning of a significant day, probably one that will result in changes to come.

You walk in the room
You entered my life – perhaps with unexpected consequences.

And I can smell that perfume
Evidence of guilt that became immediately apparent.

You tried to explain that you missed the last train,
You tried to soften the blow, to excuse your behavior and manipulate the situation.

(No, No…)
The partner is no longer buying any excuses or taking any crap.

You're the only one to blame
Inevitably, the outcome was the partner's responsibility.

Don't wanna play no more games, Yeah!
Enough with the games – the partner is ready to move on.

Should have seen it coming
Hindsight; the situation was obviously headed for failure.

Should have read the signs
Maybe the partner missed some clear signals.

What did you find?
Perhaps the partner discovered something unpleasant, surprising, or damaging.

You've been foolin'way to much around
The partner has had enough of the lies, the deception, the infidelity, and the betrayal.

Never thought you could let me down
The partner gave the other a benefit of the doubt and believed in the good faith of the relationship – only to be disappointed.

Guess I must've been to blind to see
In the past, the partner was unable or unwilling to see the truth, but now it's all clear.

But now your history
The relationship is over; the partner has moved on.

Had enough of cheating in my life
The partner is tired of the unfaithfulness and wants to find someone loyal and honest.

Need someone who knows to treat me right
The partner deserves respect, appreciation, and care.

I packed your things and left them in the hallway
The partner took the first step of ending the relationship by severing physical ties.

I hear you curse my name and try to put me to shame (Shame on you)
The other feels guilty and defensive, but the partner is not interested in excuses or apologies anymore.

Thoughts of you won't ever cross my mind again, no no
The partner is ready to forget and move forward with life, without the other.

I got my number changed
The partner took measures to prevent any unwelcome or harmful contact with the former lover.

And my heart re-arranged, (ooh)
Emotionally, the partner has gone through a process of healing, rebuilding, and redefining the sense of self and purpose.

I've done enough
The partner has exhausted all options, efforts, and patience, to salvage the relationship.

Complaining to my friends
The partner sought consolation, advice, and sympathy from trusted individuals.

Babe I know
The partner is confident, self-assured, and resolute in the decision to move away from the other.

You will never ever change
The partner recognizes that the other's character and actions are unlikely to improve or transform.

Moving on
The partner is ready to embark on a new journey and explore new opportunities and possibilities.

And out of my life
The other has no place or relevance in the partner's future.

I won't be wasting
The partner values time and energy and refuses to squander it on regret, nostalgia, or resentment.

No more time on you
The other is not worthy of the partner's attention or affection anymore.

I don't need you anymore
The partner has reached a stage of independence, self-reliance, and contentment that does not rely on the other.

Won't be making up I'm sure
There will be no more false hopes, fake promises, or insincere apologies between the two.

I am locking up that door
The partner is closing the emotional and physical door to the other and moving on.

You're history
The other is a thing of the past and no longer relevant to the partner's present.

I won't miss your love at all
The partner did not receive any genuine love or affection from the other and thus has no reason to long for it.

When you're gone I'll have a ball
The partner will revel in newfound freedom, joy, and opportunities when the other is gone.

I won't answer when you call
The other's attempts at contact, communication, or reconciliation will be ignored, blocked, or rejected.

You've been foolin'way to much around
The partner repeats the same idea that the other has been unfaithful and deceitful.

Never thought you could let me down
Despite all the doubts, the partner had a sliver of hope that the other would not disappoint or betray them.

Guess I must've been to blind to see
In retrospect, the partner realized that they should have noticed the warning signs, red flags, and inconsistencies.

But now your history
The partner decisively ends the relationship and looks forward to a new chapter in their life.
