It takes a little time to make it last
Let's leave our history in the past
I don't wanna know all the names that hurt you babe
Cause I've got a list of my own
I'm sorry I wasn't there before
We were all hurt and insecure
Phone calls late in the hours, answer me
I heard you whisper through it all
Don't tell me your history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
She wasn't strong enough for you
Won't tell you my history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
He wasn't half the heart of you
The same old people that hurt us
Were nowhere left to be found
The same old evening words exchanged
Were lost to the touch of the night
I know you've been hurt there before
I noticed all the pain by your door
Visitors leave when they want to baby
It wasn't your fault I hope you know
I can't believe we let them in
And all the demons that they brought
Shared our pillows and our secrets baby
We opened our homes to these ghosts
Don't tell me your history
We could leave it a mystery (yeah)
She wasn't strong enough for you
Won't tell you my history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
He wasn't half the heart of you
Don't tell me your history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
She wasn't strong enough for you
Won't tell you my history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
He wasn't half the heart of you
The same old people that hurt us
Were nowhere left to be found
The same old reasons we burnt through
Kept us falling for more
Don't tell me your history
Could we leave that a mystery, yeah?
She wasn't strong enough for you
Won't tell you my history
We could leave that a mystery (yeah)
He wasn't half the heart of you
