## Lyrics

**Machine Gun Kelly**

Turn my vocals up, alright

I wrote this song as a message for help

On behalf of anybody findin' their-self

I wrote this letter to numb your pain

'Cause everyday I wake up, I'm feelin' the same

I got issues just like you got issues

I been hurt, I seen the scar tissue

If I show you, would you run away?

Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay?

Do I, even need you? Should I leave you?

Do I, gotta be you, just to please you?

Do I, say I'm all good, when I bleed you

Through my, heart? Quit tearin' mine apart

**Hailee Steinfeld**

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared

I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes

But if you can't take me at my worst

You don't deserve me at my best

**Machine Gun Kelly**

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh

I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up

'Cause life is about, aight check this out

Life is about makin' mistakes

It's also about tryna be great (right)

Do not let failure scare you away

I know you fed up, you fall, get up

It's all in us, I can speak about 'cause I did it (true)

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the exhibit

It's my life, look a little closer, you could see the highlight

Gold ain't always golden but I told 'em

Look at all the years I've been waitin' for a moment

Shed a lot of tears just to smile in the mornin'

Tell me could you love me? Tell me could you love me?

Tell me could you love me if I told you why?

**Hailee Steinfeld**

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared

I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes

But if you can't take me at my worst

You don't deserve me at my best

**Machine Gun Kelly**

This song's for anybody, yeah

Who feels like I did, never the cool kid

This song's for anybody

Who fought their way through, always remain true

This song's for anybody

The one's who tryin' to get it, the one's who dream it and live it

This song's for anybody

This song, this song, this song, this song, this song, this song

**Hailee Steinfeld**

Ohh, I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared

I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes

But if you can't take me at my worst

You don't deserve me at my best

**Machine Gun Kelly**

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh

Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh

I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up

'Cause life is about
