History by Kyle Green (Hat Tip Cover - Remastered)

[Verse 1] You see the cover Think you read the page You write my ending Never watched the plays You point your fingers like you know the scars But you were never there in the dark [Chorus] You don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you ‘Cause you don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you [Verse 2] You call it easy You don’t know the bruise You see the choices Never saw the truths You toss your labels like they fit my name But you don’t carry any of this weight [Chorus] You don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you ‘Cause you don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you [Verse 3] I learned to stand when my legs gave way Kept my faith when it slipped away Every mile left its mark You see strength, but you missed the fight I didn’t rise ‘cause it came easy I rose ‘cause I had to [Pre-Chorus] I don’t owe you an explanation For the weight that built my name You see the light, but you missed the fire That burned through all the pain [Chorus – Full] You don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you ‘Cause you don’t know my history Every line was paid in honesty There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you [Bridge – Breakdown / Half-Time] You talk like you’ve been where I’ve been Like you’ve walked every step I did But you weren’t there When it was sink or swim I wore the blame, I bore the cost I found myself when I felt lost Say what you want, believe what you do But this life never looked like you [Build-Up] No — you didn’t see the nights No — you didn’t feel the weight Don’t tell my story like it’s yours You never paid that price [Final Chorus – Big] You don’t know my history Just give me a look and you will see There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you ‘Cause you don’t know my history I fought my way to be set free There’s more to me than what you think I’m not you [Outro] Read the cover, say what you want to But you don’t know my history I’m not you
