History Of A Kiss

The History Of A Kiss

Chorus
You couldn’t have known, when your mouth met mine
The memories in my lips
Cause i never told the secrets they hold
The history of a kiss

Verse 1
My parents never gave them 
It seemed they were taboo
And you always learn shame for the the thing you won’t name
So I swore off kisses too
And when I got ones unwanted
I couldn’t speak up, I was haunted
I stayed in my place, didn’t make waves
And waited to escape

Chorus
You couldn’t have known, when your mouth met mine
The memories in my lips
Cause I never told the story they hold 
The history of a kiss

Verse 2
When I was grown, had a life of my own
I was chased down and forced to give them
Arms held down tight, told not to fight
My kisses were never right
I was told that i don’t like kisses
And with the ones I got, that was true
So I took some time, rediscovered what’s mine
And found what my lips could do

Chorus
I’m starting to find when your mouth meets mine
My secrets are rest
Lost in your lips i accept but won’t miss
The history of a kiss

Tag
And all is well, so no need to tell
The past is gone
I’m moving on from
The history of a kiss, The history of a kiss
The history of a kiss, The history of a kiss
All is well, so need to tell
The history of a kiss
