Lyrics

Let me take you back, it was the start of something
I was there not long before all the stardom
Now I'm in front of you and all I'm seeing is all my flaws

I was a starving artist but I was fearless
Now I don't know what we are, frightened of heights we knew,
Scared to go too far, how I might look to you
Now who have I become, trash that mirror let my black mascara run

Saying never better baby, am I a victim of luck?
Never better baby, at last I don't give a fuck,
Baby I'm free.

Countdown to a hot mess, 5 4 3 2 1
It's time to live my life like it's never been done
Shoot me like a magnet up to the sun
Better late than never

Take it from the top again the sword is double edged
Frightened of heights we knew, don't know what's ahead
Shoot like a magnet to the surface of the sun
Trash that mirror let my black mascara run

Saying never better baby am I a victim of luck?
Never better baby I was a victim of luck
Never better baby, at last I don't give a fuck

Countdown to a hot mess, 5 4 3 2 1
It's time to live my life like it's never been done
Shoot me like a magnet up to the sun
Yeah better late than never better

Can I get a hell yes? 5 4 3 2 1
I'm trying to live my life like it's never been done
So shoot me like a magnet up to the sun
Yeah better late than never better
Yeah better late than never better
