“History”
By One Direction
You gotta help me
I'm losing my mind
Keep getting the feeling
You wanna leave this all behind
Thought we were going strong
I thought we were holding on
Aren't we
No they don't teach you this in school
Now my heart's breaking
And I don't know what to do
Thought we were going strong
Thought we were holding on
Aren't we
Chorus
You and me got a whole lot of history
We could be the greatest team
That the world has ever seen
You and me got a whole lot of history
So don't let it go
We can make some more
We can live forever
All of the rumours, all of the fights
But we always find a way
To make it out alive
Thought we were going strong
Thought we were holding on
Aren't we
(Chorus)
Minibars, expensive cars
Hotel rooms and new tattoos
Good champagne and private planes
But they don't mean anything
Cause' the truth is out
I realised that without you here
Life is just a lie
This is not the end
We can make it you know it, you know
(Chorus)
So don't let me go
Baby don't you know
We can live forever
