All You Are Is History
State Champs Lyrics

I'm a realist and an optimist
I approach life with a mixture of practicality and positivity

But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this
I refuse to let go of our past and move on

Walking tall in a small town
You feel confident and important in a place where you are a big fish in a small pond

Full of yourself when you're feeling down
Your ego boosts your confidence when you are actually feeling insecure

And that's all that matters to you
Your own self-importance is your top priority

Can't pretend anymore
I can't continue to fake my feelings

Talk is cheap, I said that before
Words are meaningless unless they are followed by actions

But you can still taste it
Your past actions are still affecting you

And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it
Your inability to move on from your past mistakes will hold you back

I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me
I'm tired of empty promises that you will change and help me

Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history
You act like you have everything under control, but you are stuck in the past

Speak slow, I want you to know that
Please take your time to express yourself so I can fully understand you

You've got the right be all that you wanna be
You have the freedom to be whoever you want to be

And that's extraordinary
Having that kind of freedom is amazing

Is it worth the risk? (can you handle it?)
Are you willing and able to handle the consequences of being who you want to be?

You don't wanna leave, you said that before
You are afraid to let go of your past, and you have expressed this sentiment previously

Fall back in line, it's too much to expose
You don't want to reveal the truth and prefer to hide behind conformity

It's your design and that's the way it goes
It is your choice to stay in your comfort zone and accept the status quo

I think I know my limits, and how to make good decisions
I am aware of my boundaries and I am confident in my ability to make wise choices

It hits home, so just go
Your words have affected me deeply and I need you to leave

But that's one more reason why you're not getting over this
Your inability to understand my perspective and change your behavior will prevent us from moving forward

No, no, I'm not getting over this
I am determined to work through our issues and find a solution
