History of Love

Hey babe, I think we've had enough
There's a sadness that we can never rise above
My heart is heavy to be touched
It's so crowded in the history of love

I made a promise on that wedding day
And I was wrong
I know, that's why I couldn't stay

But I won't go
I got no reason
I could love you just the same
With no possession
And no believing that I ever owned your name

Babe when you moved on down the way
I didn't even notice we were through
There was way too much to say
Now the conversation lags and there's nothing left to do

I made a promise, but everything has changed
I love you, baby
Oh, I know, that's why I couldn't stay

But I won't go
I got no reason
I could love you just the same
With no possession
And no believing that I ever owned your name

Hey, girl, our history of love
Is just a boring book on the shelf, a dusty play
That someday we will open up
And read this final page that we wrote today

Don't let me keep you 'cause it just ain't right
Don't worry baby
I won't even put up a fight
