[Verse 1]
We’ve all been told when we were little
We could grow up and live a fairy tale
But no one ever bothered telling us that
The storybook ending never started out well
Why’s there always gotta be a hero?
What if Cinderella had to save herself?
It’s not like we don’t need a little help
But maybe it’s a good thing to go through a little hell

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Now I’m laying in bed tonight
With my best friend sleeping on my couch
She got kicked out of her house ’cause she finally came out
And all the riches in the kingdom won’t fix that

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll walk through fire and ice
Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes

[Chorus]
So, princess, hold your head high
Even if you have to cry
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall
Your script is in the making
You can hold the aching but
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall down

[Post-Chorus]
We’ve been dreaming the good life
While we’re living the real life
We’ve been dreaming the good life
While we’re living the real life

[Verse 2]
Supermodels lighten up the billboards
And teller her now to live like she’s on the runway
She doesn’t know she’s not the only one having a hard time
Liven up, there’s something some day
So keep your Chanel but it’s not gonna be enough
And even looking like Giselle won’t cover up the bruises
So wear your scars proud, we’re screaming loud
Stop the abusing

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll walk through fire and ice
Come out the other side with diamonds in our eyes

[Chorus]
So, princess, hold your head high
Even if you have to cry
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall
Your script is in the making
You can hold the aching but
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall down

[Bridge]
Little girls always grow older
Your story is a long way from over
We’re lost before we’re found
We’re lost before we’re found
Gotta be weak to get stronger
Learn how to breathe underwater
This is our battleground
This is our battleground

[Verse 3]
All the houses are quiet and the fences are white
The status and the pictures that they post are blind
But we’re all going through it, so why do we do it?
Why do we hide?

[Chorus]
So, princess, hold your head high
Even if you have to cry
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall
Your script is in the making
You can hold the aching but
Don’t let your crown fall
Don’t let your crown fall down

[Post-Chorus]
Little girls always grow older
Your story is a long way from over
We’re lost before we’re found
We’re lost before we’re found
Gotta be weak to get stronger
Learn how to breathe underwater
This is our battleground
This is our battleground

[Outro]
Why’s there always gotta be a hero?
What if Cinderella had to save herself?

[Verse 1]
(Bang!)
I can hear the shots from the fireworks soar, and the sounds of the battle
(Drop down!)
Drop down, know I’m on top, when the arrows are drawn, the sergeant’s on the saddle
This ain’t the type of love that sees a lot of give and take
And I don’t know how we push and pull, but I know we’ll never break
Bang, bang, I can hear the shots
But I like the way you feel in the flames of the candle

[Pre-Chorus]
Too late to leave these walls
This castle’s been surrounded
Won’t stay to watch it fall around us

[Chorus]
Bring the big guns out, shoot now
I’ll make the drums beat harder for you
Red on the ground, bleed out
I’ll rub the colors on my face to prove
I’ll sing it like

[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
O-on, o-on, o-on

[Verse 2]
I’ll move my troops on the map
When your allies and your tribes are telling you to leave me
They won’t see my plan of attack
‘Cause this is our fight, love is not the enemy
Everything that you do gives me some power, makes me feel alive
So take the gun, I’m your Bonnie, you can be my Clyde
I know that you feel the same
So paint it on your face and, baby, let the world see

[Pre-Chorus]
Too late to leave these walls
This castle’s been surrounded
Won’t stay to watch it fall around us

[Chorus]
Bring the big guns out, shoot now
I’ll make the drums beat harder for you
Red on the ground, bleed out
I’ll rub the colors on my face to prove
I’ll sing it like

[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on

[Bridge]
It’s not easy, but I’ll draw my knife for you
It’s not easy, but I’ll draw my knife for you again

[Chorus]
Bring the big guns out, shoot now
I’ll make the drums beat harder for you
Red on the ground, bleed out
I’ll rub the colors on my face to prove
I’ll sing it like

[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me put my war paint on, my war paint on
On for you

[Verse 1]
It’s over my head
I hate myself for caring this much
I’ve become an addict looking for a hit of your love
I’m a long way from sober, but I don’t wanna get over you
Like a bullet needs a gun
I’ve never been so dependent, who am I turning into?
And I’m ashamed to say it, but

[Pre-Chorus]
I need a fix, my heart is outta control
And you’re pullin’ like a habit, baby
I try to kick it, hold my breath, and let go
But the drug’s too deep and it’s in my bones

[Chorus]
I was the one who could take it, leave it
Liked it better when I didn’t need it
Mmm, I
Mmm-mmm, I
Drowning slow ’cause I crave disaster
Overdose, and I’m sinking faster
I’m in over my head, over my head, over my head
I don’t understand it, but I know
It’s over my head, so over my head
[Verse 2] Sing me if it’s hell, or tell me this is paradise, mmm-mmm
Wherever we are, just hold me like I’m yours tonight
It’s a long way from over and I’m forever hooked on you
Like thunder needs the rain
Shatter my defenses, who am I turning into?
And I’m ashamed to say it, but

[Pre-Chorus]
I need a fix, my heart is outta control
And you’re pullin’ like a habit, baby
I try to kick it, hold my breath, and let go
But the drug’s too deep and it’s in my bones

[Chorus]
I was the one who could take it, leave it
Liked it better when I didn’t need it
Mmm, I
Mmm-mmm, I
Drowning slow ’cause I crave disaster
Overdose, and I’m sinking faster
I’m in over my head, over my head, over my head
I don’t understand it, but I know
It’s over my head, so over my head

[Bridge]
Say that you crave me, will you fixate me?
If I come unhinged, let you under my skin
Love me or kill me, your poison can heal me
With needles in my veins, watch me fly, fly, fly

[Pre-Chorus]
I need a fix, my heart is outta control
And you pull it like a habit, baby
I try to kick it, hold my breath, and let go
But the drug’s too deep and it’s in my bones

[Chorus]
I was the one who could take it, leave it
Liked it better when I didn’t need it
Mmm, I
Mmm-mmm, I
Drowning slow ’cause I crave disaster
Overdose, and I’m sinking faster
I’m in over my head, over my head, over my head
I don’t understand it, but I know
It’s over my head, so over my head

[Outro]
You pull me in over my head
So over my head
I don’t understand it but I know
It’s over my head, so over my head
I’m over my head

[Verse 1]
You always find the exit sign in a crowded room (Ah)
Everybody wants their shot, but you’re bulletproof (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Don’t like the feeling when your arms unfold
A fire’s burning, but your cave has gone cold
And you know you can’t stay here forever

[Pre-Chorus]
So you’re scared, you don’t think you’re ready yet
We’ll take it slow, I’ll walk with you on the edge
Paint the colors on top of the sunset
I can do this all for you

[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I’ll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won’t regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We’ll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche

[Verse 2]
Staring at the waves, but you don’t wanna drown again (Ah)
Wish that you could feel the water come pouring in (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
The blood is rushing, but you’re paralyzed
Defenseless, but you feel so alive
I think that you can love me forever

[Pre-Chorus]
So you’re scared, you don’t think you’re ready yet
We’ll take it slow, I’ll walk with you on the edge
Paint the colors on top of the sunset
I can do this all for you

[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I’ll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won’t regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We’ll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche
Like an avalanche
Like an avalanche

[Bridge]
Go ahead and close your eyes
The thunder will pass us by
It’s beautiful to fall apart
Oh, the storm is gonna break when we start
Go ahead and close your eyes
Listen ’til the wind goes silent
We can let our hearts run free
Baby, you can have a life with me
Everybody wants their shot, but you’re bulletproof

[Chorus]
So give me one night, one minute
And I’ll watch you fall like an avalanche
Let your walls down, I swear you won’t regret it
Hold on tight, baby, if you can
We’ll be rolling fast, and crashing hard
Hear the mountains roar to the beat of our hearts
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche
And we’ll be falling like an avalanche

[Outro]
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)
We’ll be falling, we’ll be falling like an avalanche
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)
We’ll be falling, we’ll be falling like an avalanche
(Like an avalanche, like an avalanche)

[Verse 1]
We got a lot of time to get it right
It feels good to mess it up, maybe don’t think about it
Going late night, who needs a fantasy?
Buzzing on Hennessy, drives like a Kennedy
And you’re my nation, my revolution
Living right now, well, you can call it disillusion

[Pre-Chorus]
Until tomorrow comes
This is how we run

[Chorus]
So take the good stuff, honey
That money just won’t buy
Spend it up, up however we like
Take the good stuff, honey
That money just won’t buy
Don’t try to save us ’cause we’re doing it right
We are, we are the wasted youth
We are, we are the wasted youth

[Post-Chorus]
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
Gonna waste it on you
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
I’ll be wasted on you

[Verse 2]
Look what you did to me, a rebel born free
Running wild through the concrete jungle
Now I can’t seem to stay away
Hell, I know that I’m gonna pay
But I do it anyway (Anyway, anyway)

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re the ultimate high that I’m trippin’ on
You’re the edge of the cliff that I’m hangin’ on
Until tomorrow comes
This is how we run

[Chorus]
So take the good stuff, honey
That money just won’t buy
Spend it up, up however we like
Take the good stuff, honey
That money just won’t buy
Don’t try to save us ’cause we’re doing it right
We are, we are the wasted youth
We are, we are the wasted youth

[Post-Chorus]
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
Gonna waste it on you
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
I’ll be wasted on you

[Interlude]
On you, on you
Wasted on you
On you, on you
Wasted on you

[Bridge]
I tell myself, if I’m gonna fall
It’ll be from high places
Even when it hurts, at least we loved hard
Now, didn’t we, baby?

[Chorus]
We are, we are the wasted youth
We are, we are the wasted youth
We are, we are the wasted youth
We are, we are the wasted youth

[Post-Chorus]
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
Gonna waste it on you
It’s my life
If I’m gonna waste it
I’ll be wasted on you

[Verse 1]
I don’t want the same things I used to want anymore
I know how to say what I could never say
And what it means to have it my way
I only wanna do it if it’s something worth fighting for
Don’t think your money’s gonna buy my time
Well, who the hell wants to live a lie?

[Chorus]
So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom, boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free, free, free
Live young, die free, free, free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free

[Verse 2]
I’m so sick and tired of being the one who plays it safe
Ready to start it up and make it my show
You can’t be with me if you move slow
I want it now, is it so far?
I don’t wanna have to wait
I like the rush, need to feel it on my skin
If it’s good, then do it again, yeah

[Chorus]
So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom, boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free, free, free
I wanna live young, die free, free, free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free

[Bridge]
I’ll stay here with no regrets
Don’t tell me what I want
And if I’m gonna bet, I’m gonna bet it all
Don’t need your diamond rings
‘Cause I can do anything
We should do everything

[Chorus]
So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom. boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free, free, free
I wanna live young, die free, free, free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free free free
Free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free, free, free
Oh, we could live young, die free, free, free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Oh, we could live young, die free, free, free
Free, free, free
