Lyrics

You said I'd never be a leader You said I'd never wear a crown If I wanted to be someone I should learn to settle down (You should know better) I tell myself (You'll never go further) I warn myself (You'll never be better) You don't know me that well I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top But I can't keep doubting myself anymore No, no I can't keep doubting myself, no Now you're looking at a leader Now you're staring at a queen You said I'll never be someone But now I'm pulling all the strings (You should know better) Won't let me back down (You'll never go further) Can't turn me around (You'll never be better) So no-one's stopping me now I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top I can't keep doubting myself anymore No, no, no, no, no, no Oh, no,no Oh, no You think you know But you don't know the half You think you beat me down But I'll have the last laugh I'll keep getting up 'Cause that's what I'm gonna do, yeah I'm gonna be the best me I'm sorry if it kills you I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top But I can't keep doubting myself anymore No, oh no, no, no, no I can't keep doubting myself, no I remember holding her breakthrough album Holding in my hands, in my car, listening to it on repeat To me, she was this untouchable goddess And, and when I met her, I really really wasn't expecting her To just be... like me, I feel like we're so similar
