[Intro]
[slap bass enters, staccato synth chords, punchy drums]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 1]
[clean electric guitar muted strums]
Clock strikes ten, yeah, here we go again
The same routine wait for the lights to sink in
You say it's the office but the math doesn't add
Just another script, it's the best you ever had
Sneaking in late, trying to act like it's fine
Blowing the rent just to feel alright
Got my heart on the line while you're blowing the check
I'm over the games and I'm over this wreck

[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm, layered vocal harmonies]
Go on and tell it, tell me one more lie
I'm done playing nice, don't even try
(Ah, ah) Why, while I'm wondering why
We were a classic, now we're just a goodbye
[synth lead melody]
You know my story time

[Verse 2]
[bass continues, guitar plays melodic fills]
I heard your engine fade, saw you disappear
Your sorry is a sound I'm tired of hearing
You think I'm the fool just waiting on the porch
While you're out in the world just dropping the torch
You could have had it all but you traded the gold
For a pocket full of stories that are getting real old
Now I'm locking the door, yeah, I'm cutting the line
Keep your fiction to yourself, I'm doing just fine

[Pre-Chorus]
[drums drop to kick and snare, bass becomes more melodic]
You think it's a game but the debt's getting deep
Promises are cheap when the secrets you keep
It was a two-way street, now I'm hitting the wall
Watching you stumble, watching us fall

[Chorus]
Go on and tell it, tell me one more lie
I'm done playing nice, don't even try
(Ah, ah) Why, while I'm wondering why
We were a classic, now we're just a goodbye
You know my story time

[Bridge]
[half-time feel, heavy synth pads]
Pack up the bags, it's the end of the road
I'm dropping the weight of your heavy load
No more sequels, no more once upon a time
I'm the author now and I'm taking what's mine
Turn out the lights, the ending is here
[crescendo]
The plot's getting thin and the vision is clear
You were just a ghost in a make-believe rhyme
Close the book, move along, I'm done with story time

[Chorus]
[full energy, crash cymbals]
Go on and tell it, tell me one more lie
I'm done playing nice, don't even try
(Ah, ah) Why, while I'm wondering why
We were a classic, now we're just a goodbye
You know my story time
My story time, my story time
I know my story time

[Outro]
[slap bass and drums fade out]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
