Ain't quite like it seems
Was young and naive
And trying to get noticed
The cost of a dream's
You give everything
And hope there's a moment
When it's gonna go your way
Remember your name
If you don't blow it
Got lost easily
They all took a piece
And before you know it
There's nothing left to go around
Until it fades away
It took me years and years but now
I'm thinking 'bout how
I made it out, I made it out
I learned my lesson
I made it out
I made it out, I made it out
They're cashing checks
In my name but now
I know it gave me something to believe in
'Cause nothing's ever worth my freedom
I made it out, I made it out
I made a mess but
I made it
Out
I made it
Out
I made it out
Starts with the highs
The stars in your eyes
You feel like a winner
You drink up the lines
And eat through the lies
Like "Who paid for dinner?"
And everybody seems so sweet
But then when they leave
You're left feeling bitter
They'll never bring me down, me down, me down, me down, me down
I'm thinking about how
I made it out, I made it out
I learned my lesson
I made it out
I made it out, I made it out
They're cashing checks
In my name but now
I know it gave me something to believe in
'Cause nothing's ever worth my freedom
I made it out, I made it out
I made a mess but
I made it
Out
I made it
Out
I made it out
Yeah I got it so wrong
Falling for the love bomb
(I made it out)
Then they had me tongue-tied
But I see the upside
(I made it out)
Yeah I got it so wrong
Falling for the love bomb
(I made it out)
I'll be breaking new ground
Everything I know now
I'm thinking about how
I made it out
I made it out
I learned my lesson
I made it out
I made it out
I made it out
They're cashing checks
In my name but now
I made it out, I made it out
I learned my lesson
I made it out
I made it out, I made it out
They're cashing checks
In my name but now
I know it gave me something to believe in
'Cause nothing's ever worth my freedom
I made it out, I made it out
I made a mess but
I made it
Out
I made it
Out
I made it out
