History of Me

(Tracy Elliott)
September 15, 2002
Totally autobiographical!
History of Me

I've packed up my suitcase full of memories
And I'm taking it with me no matter where I go
I've locked it up and I only have the key
To open it up and watch it bleed

There's a fire burning inside of me
But not deep enough to set it free
And I'm headed south on this old bi-plane
And I'm learning, I'm learning
The History of Me

Back on the front I face the winds of change
But I turn my face so I can't see
Now I'm lost in the eye of the hurricane
As the waves grow stronger and rage inside of me

And there's a fire burning inside of me
But not deep enough to set it free
And I'm headed south on this old bi-plane
And I'm learning, I'm learning
The History of Me

There's no looking back, but there's no future for me now
