Story Of My Life

I remember when I was just fifteen

I moved to LA with my rock and roll big dreams

They said "good luck, it's tougher than it seems

So step up or go home."

I didn't know that I would sometimes be hungry

I didn't know I would miss my bed when I sleep

I told my mom and my dad that I was happy

But I never felt so lonely

Eight years I'm a warrior

And I'm still here

Fighting for the glory

You don't know the half of it

Story of my life

Poison the hero

Back down to zero

No consequence at all

And it only lights my fire

What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger

I'd rather be free to fail

And that's the story of my life

Waking up I have a headache

And I'm running late

My car won't start

And my tags aren't up to date

I can't decide if it's my destiny or just fate

When will I get my break?

Living in a wonderland

Playing shoots and ladders

Back to the beginning

You don't know the half of it

Story of my life

Poison the hero

Back down to zero

No consequence at all

And it only lights my fire

What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger

I'd rather be free to fail

And that's the story of my life

This is it

In this moment

I'm standing on top of the stars

This is it

And I know it

It's my turn to shine out the dark

'Cause I'm letting your hold - I'm letting it go

As far and as high

As the depths of my soul

This is it

In this moment

I'm ready to show the whole world

I've waited all my life

Poison the hero

Back down to zero

No consequence at all

Story of my life

Poison the hero

Back down to zero

No consequence at all

And it only lights my fire

What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger

I'd rather be free to fail

And that's the story of my life
