[LILY]
I was twelve when it happened
Never been the same
Read the news as I woke up
’Til then I’d never known true pain

[ASH]
I couldn’t eat

[SALTY]
I couldn’t stop eating

[LILY]
I couldn’t sleep

[SALTY]
I just couldn’t even

[FANS]
Couldn’t even

[GRETA]
I could barely watch the footage

[DOM]
Felt like a kick to the head

[LILY]
He’d always been mine
[FANS]
He’s always always

[SALTY]
And now he was dead
Well not literally dead, but, metaphorically
‘Cause if you say that shit, then you’re dead to me!

[ALL]
He opened his mouth
And opened our eyes
How could he do this to us?
How could he tell these lies?

[DOM]
His story was so fake it was embarrassing
I mean, how could a fourteen year-old fan just kidnap him? LOL!

[LILY]
How would she drive?
Steal a van?
Just—

[GRETA]
Get past security?
Take out the cameras?
[ASH]
Then get to his dressing room, dressed as a roadie—

[DOM]
Hide in his bathroom, wait ’til he does a poo—

[LILY]
Knock him out with homemade chloroform—

[GRETA]
Stuff him in a suitcase—

[LILY & GRETA]
And roll him out of the venue

[ALL] (spoken)
As if!

[FANS] (sung)
As if!

[SALTY]
He said she tied him up, for two whole days

[FANS]
What the hell!
[SALTY]
That he screamed but no one heard him
Um—kay?

[FANS]
Um, kay

[GRETA]
It’s like a bad fan fiction!

[SALTY] (spoken)
Wait, what?

[ALL] (sung)
Serious-lay!

[LILY] (spoken)
Harry? I could write better crap than that!

[ALL BUT SALTY] (sung)
Harry—
Eat a dick, literally

[DOM]
A week after they found him, to celebrate

[ASH]
They released a new single!

[GRETA]
Like nothing had changed!

[SALTY]
His first night back onstage
Something was… wrong

[LILY]
He walked off after half a song—

[ALL]
—And never walked back on

[LILY]
Some people said it was our fault
Because teenage girls
Are all that’s
Wrong with the world

[ASH]
And is it weird to say I’m grateful
That it happened, in a way?
The hateful garbage
It made me claim what—

[SALTY]
I’m not afraid to stand for
That I am not afraid to love
I still listen to that music
I don’t care what people say
I love how it feels to love it
And not feel afraid

[ASH]
I still watch videos of the concerts
Not to remember the boys
To remember how it felt to scream
Inside all that noise

[LILY]
Forget the overpriced tickets
The merch, and the UGG boots

[ASH & SALTY]
That’s not why I loved that band

[ASH, SALTY & LILY]
It was a feeling, of throwing my hands up
And falling in love with life
And never having to land
