Royals, I know you're here
And I have proof, right here on this footage
You tell

Ok, so you don't quite see the full picture here
Hey, hey don't, just, just listen

So, what you're seeing on the camera's not exactly what had happened
In the morning Aidan got drunk
At the table by the counter
In the building with the dancers
Me, him, and Taylor sat in for brunch

(Are you listening)

Let me tape your eyes
So that you keep them open wide
Cause during that brunch
We talked about our show at
Cinder Drive
Markson looked spent
And Scars looked livid
At something that he said
So, she pointed out that in confidence
Aidan had told her he'd quit the band

I didn't know quite what to say
So, I asked him what was wrong
Aidan started to tear
Got up, made clear
This is not how he wanted to go down

Hey, lad!
Haven't you heard that
This, this, this
Is not your fight

I don't wanna see another hand
On that door
Keep it shut to block the light

Hey, lad!
May I, may I ask
Why it is, why it is
You would want to try

If you're wrong
You'll fall into the same old place
You were trying to avoid by
Giving me your time

It was right after the show
The critics called a hopeless scene
A disaster bigger than
All of our fans had ever seen

Aidan was in his room screaming
This is not how it should end
So, I opened the door
And he stormed out
Without a second glance
You see, the last few months
Aidan was making some mistakes

He wasn't himself when he grabbed the knives
And threw them at Taylor's face
We went down the hall
We ran for help
He'd never been this way
So, what I did next
I'd forever regret
But I guess that it was worth the shame

Hey, lad!
Haven't you heard that
This, this, this
Is not your fight

I don't wanna see another hand
On that door
Keep it shut to block the light

Hey, lad!
May I, may I ask
Why it is, why it is
You would want to try

If you're wrong
You'll fall into the same old place
You were trying to avoid by
Giving me your

Hey, lad!

Hey, lad!
May I, may I ask
Why it is, why it is

If you're wrong
You'll fall into the same old place

Giving me your time

So, I don't care if he's your father
I don't care if he was a great one
Or a pathetic one
He betrayed everything that we stood for
He made me who I am
The king, a royal, a killer
And once you kill
Doing it again is just a river
Waiting to break through a dam
So leave, before I do the same to you
I am a disease, a loose cannon
I am meant to live in front of millions!

Standing in solitude

Hey, lad!
Haven't you heard that
This, this, this
Is not your fight

I don't wanna see another hand
On that door
Keep it shut to block the light

Hey, lad!
May I, may I ask
Why it is, why it is
You would want to try

If you're wrong
You'll fall into the same old place
You were trying to avoid by

Why it is, why it is

Giving me your time
