In “History,” CHANMINA stays inside a love that was doomed from the start, admitting she would rip her heart out all over again even though the falling was never caught. The ring twisted until knuckles bleed becomes the cost of a promise already broken, and the cage is one they both built knowingly. She calls it history now, but she is still wasting away beside him, drunk and broken hearted, loving what is already gone.
History Lyrics by CHANMINA
This has nothing to do with my freedom ’cause I want you
Everything happens for a reason, I can name a few
I remember the day that we met, you ripped my heart right out of my chest
There’s nothing for us to regret, I would do it again
But when I was falling, you were never there to catch me
Now you call me crying, baby, It’s not healthy
We were picture perfect, they don’t know the story
It’s kinda weird, but I love you still
I’m wasting away a promise that I couldn’t keep
Breaking the chains, twist the ring until my knuckles bleed
Locked in a cage, a prisoner to losing sleep
Lying next to you, drunk and broken hearted
It’s killing me and you, but we knew it before we started
Not looking back, but we were so beautiful
Maybe I’m the villain too, before I
Said it from my mouth, I was always dying every single day
It was the only way to save my life
I’m wasting away a promise that I couldn’t keep
Breaking the chains, twist the ring until my knuckles bleed
Locked in a cage, a prisoner to losing sleep
Lying next to you, drunk and broken hearted
It’s killing me and you, but we knew it before we started
You were a part of me, but now we’re history
And I’m just wasting away
I’m wasting away a promise that I couldn’t keep
Breaking the chains, twist the ring until my knuckles bleed
Locked in a cage, a prisoner to losing sleep
Lying next to you, drunk and broken hearted
It’s killing me and you, but we knew it before we started
