lyrics

In the end we just blew it
Try hard not to throw a fit

Thought one thing on the upswing
Didn’t know how it works
Record label gave us cash
Didn’t know we had to pay it back

Should have looked into it
Huge signing bonuses
Million strings attached
Lost what our focus was

We just blew it
We threw it all away
Took our fans for granted
Rubbed our fame in their face

We hit the highs
We were just so stupid
We thought we’d gained world
But we should’ve really known it

The money was never ours
The fame was always fleeting
We thought we were stars
In the end we took a beating

Lessons were learned
Now that we’re in debt
Friendships are really earned
On this we are dead set

Now that we don’t have a single dime to our name
People don’t care how much you got, about your fame

There’s no such thing as a free lunch
We lost it all, we lost our touch

Swimming in fees, no end in sight
We're in the negative, no rest tonight

We signed the contract, didn’t read the small print
Thought that we'd made it, didn’t get the hint

Everything we wrote taken from us
All our hard work, something is sus

How is this normal? How can this be?
Thought it was fun thought it was free

We owe them money, so much in fact
Work till we're dead, we’re trapped

We just blew it
We threw it all away
Took our fans for granted
Rubbed our fame in their face

We hit the highs
We were just so stupid
We thought we’d gained world
But we should’ve really known it

The money was never ours
The fame was always fleeting
We thought we were stars
In the end we took a beating

Lessons were learned
Now that we’re in debt
Friendships are really earned
On this we are dead set

Maybe we should have just gone independent
Recoup-able assets should have caused reassessment

In the end we should have just read the fine print
Then we might have had a better deal to commit

We just blew it
We threw it all away
Took our fans for granted
Rubbed our fame in their face

We hit the highs
We were just so stupid
We thought we’d gained world
But we should’ve really known it

The money was never ours
The fame was always fleeting
We thought we were stars
In the end we took a beating

Lessons were learned
Now that we’re in debt
Friendships are really earned
On this we are dead set
