  • Let me take you back, it was the start of something
    I was there not long before all the stardom
    Now I'm in front of you and all I'm seeing is all my flaws
    I was a starving artist but I was fearless
    Now I don't know what we are, frightened of heights we knew
    Scared to go too far, how I might look to you
    Now who have I become, trash that mirror, let my black mascara run

    Saying never better baby, am I a victim of luck?
    Never better baby, at last I don't give a fuck
    Baby I'm free

    Countdown to a hot mess, five, four, three, two, one
    It's time to live my life like it's never been done
    Shoot me like a magnet up to the sun, yeah
    Better late than never

    Take it from the top again the sword is double edged
    Frightened of heights we knew, don't know what's ahead
    Shoot like a magnet to the surface of the sun
    Trash that mirror, let my black mascara run

    Saying never better, baby, am I a victim of luck?
    Never better, baby, I was a victim of luck
    Never better baby, at last I don't give a fuck (baby I'm free)

    Countdown to a hot mess, five, four, three, two, one
    It's time to live my life like it's never been done
    Shoot me like a magnet up to the sun
    Yeah, better late than never, better

    Can I get a hell yes? Five, four, three, two, one
    I'm trying to live my life like it's never been done
    So, shoot me like a magnet up to the sun
    Yeah, better late than never, better
    Yeah, better late than never, better Writer/s: Emily Haines, Gavin Brown, James Shaw, Liam O'neil
