Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
My, you look so gaunt
Much has changed since our last meeting, Gaston
I'm no longer a debutante
The monster you were so scared about
He's my ally now
Only monster left that I see around
Stands in front of this crowd
You mocked and harassed and made pass after pass
And when that didn't work, you planned forceful attacks
So let's end this fantasy, write a new tragedy
And sweetheart
You know, that's the first act
I'll reclaim my story
Take back the end you've been hoarding
Delicate words are boring
Tear those pages out
Love ain't glory
Strike through the cruel and the haughty
I have the pen and authority
I'm the author now
I'd be remiss to pin this all on you
How could I ever forget?
All these friendly faces, step out, join us too
Come and meet my new pet
Oh, hold out your hand, I swear he won't bite
Unless I say so
Come to think of it, didn't you all stand aside
When we needed you most?
I'll remake my past, change the lines I'll recast
As the actors are fired and beats are rehashed
I'm done with collaborative, I run the narrative
And my word is fact
I'll reclaim my story
Take back the end you've been hoarding
Delicate words are boring
Tear those pages out
Love ain't glory
Strike through the cruel and the haughty
I have the pen and authority
I'm the author now
Patient as I watched you drag behind
Throwing hate 'cause I had the sharper mind
Jealous words are easy to undermine
Wanna be me? Maybe read a book sometime
While you go writin' on a piece of sand
I'm charting stars, and I'm writin' sams
Even gods above seem to understand
I'll hold this whole world in my hand
So save yourself and accept defeat
Your tale is done now, go take a seat
And watch, and maybe you'll learn something
Don't judge a songbird 'til she sings
You want me squashed just to save your pride
But I gotta thank you for all the lies
'Cause now I finally realize
I am the god your gods left behind
I'll claim my story (I'll reclaim my story, take back the end you've been hoarding)
Take back my story (delicate words are boring, tear those pages out-law vain glory)
I'll do as you taught me (I have the pen and authority, I'm the author now)
I'll claim my story now (now)
