They said I'd never be a leader
They said I'd never wear a crown
If I wanted to be someone
I should learn to settle down

You should know better
I tell myself
You'll never go further
I warned myself
You'll never be better
Don't know me that well

I made it to the end
I nearly paid the cost
I lost a lot of friends
I sacrificed a lot
I'd do it all again
Cause I made it to the top
But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

Now you're looking at a leader
Now you're staring at a queen
You'd said I'd never be someone
But now I'm pulling those strings

You should know better
Won't make me back down
You'll never go further
Can't turn me around
You'll never be better
So no stopping me now

I made it to the end
I nearly paid the cost
I lost a lot of friends
I sacrificed a lot
I'd do it all again
Cause I made it to the top
I can't keep doubting myself anymore

You think you know
But you don't know the half
You think you beat me down
But I'll have the last laugh
I'll keep getting up
Cause that's what I want to do
I'm gonna be the best me
I'm sorry if it kills you

I made it to the end
I nearly paid the cost
I lost a lot of friends
I sacrificed a lot
I'd do it all again
Cause I made it to the top
I can't keep doubting myself anymore

And I remember holding The Breakthrough album
Holding it in my hands, in my car
Listening to it on repeat
To me she was this untouchable goddess
And, and when I met her
I really, really wasn't expecting her
To just be, like me
I feel like we're, we're so similar
