[Intro] (Hey, oh) Sometimes success feels so empty... But every single morning... you were there to remind me. Oh, oh Oh, oh, yeah, yeah [Verse] Woke up in the penthouse, looking at the city lights, But the billions in the bank couldn't fix my lonely nights. Nothing felt real until you came into my world, Stronger than a diamond, more precious than a pearl. Regular as clockwork, breaking through the dawn, The only thing I counted on when everyone was gone. No one else could move me the way that you do, The chemistry was heavy... but it always carried through (oh). [Pre-Chorus] They don't understand the weight of what we had, They try to look away, they say the air is turning bad... But you held me down... through the pressure and the pain, Leaving me completely changed... washing away the (Choir: strain). [Chorus] I'm gonna build a monument to us! Rising through the sky, (Choir: a symbol they can trust!) Fifty feet high, standing proud above the town, A testament of devotion... an everlasting crown! Echoing forever, letting everybody see, The beautiful, heavy legacy... you left inside of me (oh). [Verse 2] But the temperature changed... and the air got cold, A story of a love that was starting to get old. I looked at you this morning, and you lost your warmth, The softness that I loved was turning into stone. Cracks forming on the surface where the moisture used to be, You dried up right before my eyes... fracturing from me. You ain't the same no more, the air got to your heart, And I can feel the distance tearing us apart. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the room is getting heavy, the atmosphere is tight, I know what I gotta do to make it through the night... The pressure's building up, it's a fire in my soul, And I can't hold it back... I gotta lose control! [Bridge] [Choir] (Let it burn!) [Lead] Had to watch our love go up in flames! [Choir] (Let it burn!) [Lead] The fiery release of all the shame! [Choir] (Burn it down!) [Lead] I can feel the heat rising up to my chest! A heavy situation... had to lay it all to rest! Oh, it's burning hot... but it's setting me free! [Choir] (Delay: Watch it burn... oh, watch it burn...) [Final Chorus] That's why I'm building this monument! That's why I'm building this monument! (Oh) [Choir] (This is why I'm building this monument!) Building it high! [Choir] (Fifty feet of history) up in the sky! (Choir: To the fiery moments that tore us apart), The shattered monument born from my heart! Fifty feet high... (Fifty feet high) let the whole world (let the whole world) look around... At the absolute majesty... of fifty shades of brown! (Oh) [Outro] Yeah... it's over now. The air is finally clear... Baby, don't cry... You'll always be... [Dramatic drum beat] ...my number twooo.... (oh yeah...)
