Story Of My Life Lyrics

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e41194-automatic_loveletter~story_of_my_life_lyrics.html ]
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 kill 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 I'm running late
My car wont start
And my tags aren't up to date
I can't decide if it's my destiny just fade
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 kill 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
As 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 kill me just makes me stronger
I'd rather be free to fail
And that's the story of my life
