The Story - Conan Gray

作词：Conan Gray

作曲：Conan Gray

Let me tell you a story

About a boy and a girl

It's kinda short kinda boring

But the end is a whirl

They were just １６

When the people were mean

So they didn't love themselves

And now they're gone

Headstones on a lawn

When I was younger

I knew a boy and a boy

Best friends with each other

But always wished they were more

'Cause they loved one another

But never discovered '

cause they were too afraid

Of what they'd say

Moved to different states

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

It ain't funny it ain't pretty it ain't sweet

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

But I think that it could work for you and me

Just wait and see

It's not the end of the story

Now it's on to the sequel

About me and my friend

Both our parents were evil

So we both made a bet

If we worked and we saved

We could both run away

And we'd have a better life

And I was right

I wonder if she's alright

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

It ain't funny it ain't pretty it ain't sweet

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

But I think that it could

work for you and me

Just wait and see

It's not the end of the story ok

And the movie's always running in my head

All the people all the lovers all my friends

And I hope

that they'll all get their happy end

In the end

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

It ain't funny it ain't pretty it ain't sweet

Oh and I'm afraid

that's just the way the world works

But I think that it could work for you and me

Just wait and see

It's not the end of the story
