Written by Fall Out Boy, Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem, Justin Tranter, Michael Fonseca, Raja Kumari, Suzanne Vega

[Intro:] Du du du du-du du du Du du du du du-du du du

[Chorus:] Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me for centuries And just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries Hey, hey, hey Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams No, it's nothing wrong with me The kids are all wrong The story's all off Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints And this is supposed to match The darkness that you felt I never meant for you to fix yourself

[Chorus]

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name 'Cause I was only born inside my dreams Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you 'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia And you're a cherry blossom You're about to bloom You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

[Chorus]

[Bridge:] We've been here forever And here's the frozen proof I could scream forever We are the poisoned youth

[Chorus]

We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries
