Chorus – no intro. Just bang. Full vocal + synth bass. Female voice. Soprano.]
That’s a nice story
Shame it’s not true
You were never gentle
You just didn’t know what else to do
That’s a nice ending
All tied up clean
I guess I was the villain
In a film you screened for sympathy
You changed the cast
But kept my lines
Yeah
Nice story
But it isn’t mine
⸻
[Verse 1 – low, pulsing, minimal beat]
Heard you told your friends I was cold
That I shut down, pulled away
Forgot how you made silence
The only language we could speak
You left parts out, didn’t you?
Like the nights you said nothing and I had to guess
Now you’re out here on your redemption arc
Like I’m just part of the mess
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – slight lift, tension builds]
I watched you repaint it all
Soft colors, new narration
You cut me from the frame
But left my damage in the station
⸻
[Repeat Chorus – stronger delivery, layered vocals, backup singers]
That’s a nice story
Shame it’s not true
You were never gentle
You just didn’t know what else to do
That’s a nice ending
All tied up clean
I guess I was the villain
In a film you screened for sympathy
You changed the cast
But kept my lines
Yeah
Nice story
But it isn’t mine
⸻
[Bridge – quiet, spoken with background vocal stabs]
You sell it well
The heartbreak, the growth
The lessons you learned
The lies you told
But stories have receipts
And mine’s still on file
⸻
[Final Chorus – drop the beat for first half, then bring it back hard]
That’s a nice story
Tell it loud
Say it sweet
But truth don’t need a rewrite
And I don’t need to compete
You changed the cast
But I remember the night
You weren’t the hero
You just turned out the light
Yeah
Nice story
But it isn’t mine
⸻
[Outro – dry vocal, fading echo]
It never was
And it never will be
FastLane
