The Story Was Mine

[Verse 1]
Oh I breathed you in
But you didn’t come back out
I don’t remember it now
But I know the fall out
Tried to mess my mind but you left no doubt
A permanent low
Your hands stuck around my throat
Now I’m losing sleep
Cause when I do I know I’ll dream
And I know it’s only nightmares waiting for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody sings
Everybody sings

[Chorus]
“All hail the ruiner
All hail the king”
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my body like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
The story was mine

[Verse 2]
Steel my spine
Take the blows
They praise his name
And I’m the true foe
The monster mother’s tell their boys about at night
“Oh, she’ll ruin you
So keep your name clean
Oh, she’ll ruin you”
But about his hands she never says a thing

Why didn’t you tell him
Why didn’t you say
Sometimes damnation
Is a street that goes both ways

[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody sings
Everybody sings

[Chorus]
“All hail the ruiner
All hail the king”
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my heart like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
The story was mine

[Bridge]
I saw it coming
And it still knocked me off my feet
I saw it coming
And it still took the breath out of me
They call him a king
So what does that make me?
They call him a king
So guess that makes me

[Chorus]
All hail the ruiner
All hail the king
They called him my lover
But I don’t remember a thing
Now he’s stains on my mind like ink
On the pages of my story
He goes down in glorious
Endings, divine
Everyone forgets
I will never forget
I can never forget

90’s Teen Romance

[Verse 1]
I hope you ask me to dance with you
The night’s almost over
And I’ve been practicing in my head
So my two left feet, don’t get the best of me
I always wanna give you the best of me

I meet your eyes across the room, and that’s it
I feel fourteen again
Biting my lip
Hoping the boy with the beautiful eyes
Will look at me like he’s in love
Like I’m the only thing he’s ever dreamed of

[Chorus]
So cue the music
Like a 90’s teen romance
Right at the climax
And I’ll feel it down to my feet
I’m holding my breath
Heart beating in my chest
Is this the best, it could ever get?
Oh, cause the night’s not over yet

[Verse 2]
And you’re doing that thing you do 
When you’re nervous
Tapping the tune to Hey Jude on your thigh
And I catch your eye and I can’t help but smile

And you’ve danced with every girl here
Cause you’re just sweet like that
My girlfriends whisper that you’ve saved the best for last
And I’m holding my breath, nails biting my palms, praying to god that it’s true
That you’ve been waiting for this too

[Chorus]
So cue the music
Like a 90’s teen romance
Right at the climax
And I’ll feel it down to my feet
I’m holding my breath
Heart beating in my chest
Is this the best, it could ever get?
Oh, cause the night’s not over yet

[Verse 3]
And when we come together that’s it
It’s electricity 
And I thought we’d be something soft and sweet
But I think I like what you’re doing to me

And if when we kiss, the city goes dark
I won’t care, cause my eyes are already closed
So don’t tell me if you know

Did the lights flicker in the hallway?
Was that your lips whispering my name?
Did the crowd cheer like fans at a football game?
Or was it all just in my head?

[Chorus]
The music
Like a 90’s teen romance
Right at the climax
And I felt it down to my feet
I was holding my breath
Heart beating in my chest
Was that the best, it could ever get?

[Outro]
I open my eyes, there you are right in front me
And I know, you know, they know
The night’s not over yet

Take It In

[Verse 1]
You
You, you, you come first
Cause you
You, you, you are worth
More than you will ever know
More than your parents can show

You
You, you, you
Were a miracle at birth
Out of millions and millions of chances
Here you are

[Chorus]
So take it in, take it in
Take a breath, watch your step
You can only go wrong
If you don’t go on

[Verse 2]
In a world so far out of your depth
But baby, don’t you worry about a single step
Not everything might be as perfect as you dream
But life has always been yours for the taking

[Chorus]
So take it in, take it in
Take a breath, watch your step
You can only go wrong
If you don’t go on

[Verse 3]
It’s all right not to be all right
Somtimes
It’s a fight you’re gonna fight
For most your life
So many people will never know
We go through life being our own superheroes

So remember when you’re all alone
And the world doesn’t feel like your home
And your life doesn’t feel like your own

[Chorus]
Take it in, take it in
Take a breath, watch your step
You can only go wrong
If you don’t go on

[Verse 4]
So take a deep breath
This is not the end
I’ve thought it before
But time will let you start again

Out of millions and millions of chances
Here you are
Doesn’t that count, for something?

[Outro]
So take it in, take it in
Take a breath, watch your step
Just keep moving along
You can’t go wrong
If you just keep moving on

It’s Not A Love Song

[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that

[Verse 1]
I think I could have been kinder
But I could have been colder
When I was trying to love you
I cut myself on your shoulders

And I remember kissing collarbones
And counting all your freckles
And I remember kissing pictures
And counting all our smiles

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not love if it was just pretend
That’s why this doesn’t count as giving in

[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that

[Verse 2]
Your hand in my back pocket
That’s where you said you’d leave it
And I, walked away feeling high
But then you removed it
And I got to thinking
Maybe that was just another lie

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not love if it was just pretend
That’s why this doesn’t count as giving in

[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that

[Verse 3]
So now we’re worse than strangers
Cause we never knew better
I’m not the one who did you wrong
You broke my heart first
So don’t hate me
Cause I dragged yours through the dirt

Maybe I was too insecure
Always thinking of you
Thinking of her

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s love cause it wasn’t pretend
So maybe I was wrong and now I’m giving in

[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint us true
But nobody will know that
But nobody will know that

[Outro]
Oh this song’s for you
And everybody knows that

Money

[Verse 1]
Before the fall
I had it all
Had my heart
And had my soul
And I, I was still human

Before the fall
I had it all
Halo of gold
Wings like honey
And oh, I never cared about money

That green did something
Something mean to me
I turned into an animal
Only thought about one thing

[Chorus]
Money
Money money
Money
Money money
Forgot my family
Forgot my honey
Ran to the land of rich and
Money
Money money
Money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money

[Verse 2]
And they don’t tell you
What a devil you’ll become
Cause once you touch that green
That’s when you’re on the run
Cause you can’t sleep
And you can’t eat
All that’s on your mind
24/7 all the time

[Chorus]
Money
Money money
Money
Money money
Forgot my family
Forgot my honey
Ran to the land of rich and
Money
Money money
Money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money

[Bridge]
Who needs family
When I got all these dollar bills with me x3

[Chorus]
Money
Money money
Money
Money money
Forgot my family
Forgot my honey
Ran to the land of rich and
Money
Money money
Money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money
Give me that honey honey
Green like money money

[Outro]
Who needs family
When I got all these dollar bills with me
They keep me company
All this money
Keeps me company
And I swear I swear
I’m not lonely
Who could be lonely
When they’ve got this much money
Honey, who could be lonely
When they’ve got all this money
