Learned My Lesson
[Melancholic Atmospheric Intro: Vocal-forward, Soft Bitter Vocals, seductive celesta loop with minimal stripped-back 808 rhythm] They say every story has a happy ending But i can't just, keep pretending Cause some stories have a very sudden ending Make you wish, you learned your lesson Not every story has a happy ending [Verse 1: Vocal-forward, Soft Bitter Vocals, minimal stripped-back 808 layered with eerie high-pitched celesta loop] Started out convinced we were doing everything right Chasing down a picture, fading out of sight You put on a smile, acted like it was fine But we were just running on borrowed time [Chorus: Vocal-forward, Soft Frustrated building to Soaring Emotional Vocals, massive stadium 808 layered with eerie high-pitched celesta loop and organ swells] They say every story has a happy ending but it feels like, everyone is just pretending If every story, has a happy ending Why is this pain, so never ending They say every story has a happy ending I wish they would stop pretending If every story, has a happy ending Why do i feel like my life's descending Some stories have a very tragic ending [Verse 2: Vocal-forward, Soft Bitter Vocals, minimal stripped-back 808 layered with eerie high-pitched celesta loop] Now my phone's right here on the bed Just like voices, ringing, stuck deep in my head You said we were written in ink, not in sand Now look at the pieces left in my hands. Tearing me apart, left with a hole in my heart Moving on so fast like it never took place Leaving nothing behind but a bitter taste [Chorus: Vocal-forward, Soaring Frustrated building to Soaring Emotional Vocals, massive stadium 808 layered with eerie high-pitched celesta loop and organ swells] They say every story has a happy ending but it feels like, everyone is just pretending If every story, has a happy ending Why is this pain, so never ending They say every story has a happy ending I wish they would stop pretending If every story, has a happy ending Why do i feel like my life's descending Some stories have a very tragic ending [Bridge Breakdown: Vocal-forward, Frustrated Building to Emotional Vocals, Half-tempo Start Slow Re-build to Full-tempo] How long am I supposed to sit and bleed for this Chasing after memories of things I'm gonna miss I thought I needed answers, thought I needed a sign But I was just wasting all my energy and my time No more waiting on a fairy tale to save my soul I'm picking up the pieces and making myself whole! [Cathartic Atmospheric Outro: Vocal-forward, Soft Emotional building to Soft Gratified Vocals, minimal stripped-back 808 layered with eerie high-pitched celesta loop] Not every story has a happy ending I wont keep pretending Some stories don't, have sudden tragic endings But I'll still keep contending Cause some stories, do have happy endings At least now i have learned my lesson [Fade Out]
