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 k** 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 a ? My car wont 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 k** 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 of the dark 'cause I'm letting your hold, 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 shoulder the 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 k** me just makes me stronger I'd rather be free to fail And that's the story of my life
