Cribs - Ancient History Lyrics

With my cards on the table 
She could see the light 
My efforts went wasted 
Due to falling night 

And I know...

By the end of the evening 
I was in no doubt 
Of all of the things 
That you could live without 

Now I know...

I drag up ancient history 
Hope that they'll forgive me 

They had nothing but ego's 
But they multiply 
All the reasons that I would try 
That I know... 
To be making it harder to be seen but oh, 
Is it too much to ask for to be left alone? 
Yeah I know 

I drag up ancient history 
Hope that they'll forgive me 


Lay my cards on the table 
So she could see the light 
My efforts went wasted 
Due to falling night 

And I know... 

I drag up ancient history 
Hope that they'll forgive me
