[Verse 1]
Drenched in weak and hurtful lies
Full of hate and self-despise
Way too often leave myself so high and dry
Always willing, never able
Living out another fable
Fighting with myself, I don't know why, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I make my worth a synonym
With everything I’ve never been
And everything I'm never gonna be

[Chorus]
Wanna show you what I got, got, got
Wanna see me at the top, top, top
But I'm bringing me down, bringing me down
Bringing me down, bringing me down
Got, got, got
Wanna see me at the top, top, top
But I’m bringing me down, bringing me down
Yeah, that's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life

[Verse 2]
Compliments impossible
I really can be so intolerable
They tell me just to take the win
But I just find it all improbable
I'm so facetious
Conversations, are self-deprecating competitions
Joking at my own expense
Another foolish form of self defence, so I
[Pre-Chorus]
Make my worth a synonym
With everything I've never been
And everything I'm never gonna be

[Chorus]
Wanna show you what I got, got, got
Wanna see me at the top, top, top
But I'm bringing me down, bringing me down
Bringing me down, bringing me down
Got, got, got
Wanna see me at the top, top, top
But I’m bringing me down, bringing me down
Yeah, that’s the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
