Tale as old as honey, a moment everybody knows
Yeah I’m sure there was heartbreak, inside the walls of Jericho
I couldn’t believe it, how you could just stop wanting me
You burnt down Easter Island, as if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn’t sacred to me
I’ve seen it, in the poems and the sands
I’ve pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can’t, it’s the history, the history of man
She stays up, he’s sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn’t understand
She loves him, more than anyone ever has
In the history, the history of man
It’s the history of man
You didn’t even falter, didnt look back once, did you?
So Samson blamed Delilah, but given half the chance I, I would’ve made him weaker too
Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring
You walked out oh, without sweating
I’ve seen it, in the poems and the sands
I’ve pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can’t, it’s the history, the history of man
She stays up, he’s sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn’t understand
She loves him, more than anyone ever has
In the history, the history of man
He stole her youth and promised heaven
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
Women’s hearts are lethal weapons
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom, you are still my great obsession
I’ve seen it, in the poems and the sands
I’ve pleaded, with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can’t, it’s the history, the history of man
I stay up, you’re sleeping like a lamb
I beg you, and you don’t understand
I hold on, I try to hold your hand
I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
So you’ll lose me, the best you’ll ever have
It’s the history, the history of man
