I remember when I was just fifteen
I moved to LA with my rock 'n' 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 that 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 live 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 live 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 you know, I'm letting it go
As far and as high to 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 live free to fail
And that's the story of my life
