V1

The world is filled with mystery

There's victor's version of history

We might just have to wait and see

What will unravel between you and me

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative



V2

We don't have to repeat past mistakes

That's a road with too many heartaches

Like fools we blindly place blame

And sadly it always turns out the same

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative



Chorus

So, History speaks for itself

If we are smart enough to listen

Let's not just tell the winner's version

The victor takes all the glory

So the other one must lose

There are many stories on bookshelves

Where the truth is all but missing

And the loser is forced into coercion

These tales are so inflammatory

All it leaves is a painful residue



Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

These tales are so inflammatory

All it leaves is a painful residue

These tales are so inflammatory

All it leaves is a painful residue

inflammatory, painful residue



V3

I'll never be your adversary

Tragic love is reactionary

Let's leave out competition, yeah

Our story starts with this new edition

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative



Chorus

History speaks for itself

If we are smart enough to listen

Let's not just tell the winner's version

The victor takes all the glory

So the other one must lose

There are many stories on bookshelves

Where the truth is all but missing

And the loser is forced into coercion. ah

These tales are so inflammatory

All it leaves is a painful residue

These tales are so inflammatory

All it leaves is a painful residue



Outro

Let's not force a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

If we hold each other's truths

There's no need for a false narrative

Let's not force a false narrative

No false narratives, false narrative

No false narratives
