In the first thirty seconds She told him she was leaving She picked up the one-way suitcase He stood there disbelieving Then a minute passed and she turned to walk Left him without the means to talk She was history In the first hour in the twilight His foot down on the throttle His right hand left the steering wheel For a half-empty bottle Whiskey stings on the first sip Then it flows like memories through the lips She is history [Chorus:] You can break apart same as any man She can shake your faith like only a woman can But the hurt The ache Won't stop till there's nothing left to take From you In the fifth hour in the twilight A crush of steel and gravel His car hung up in mid-air Then it came down like a gavel And he swore he saw an angel in the light Then the wipers woke him left to right She is history [Repeat Chorus:] [Bridge:] And there's time to heal Time to kill And time will take its time And the only crime is what you let it steal And that's time... time... time... [Repeat Chorus:]
