Lyrics
Intro
I won't wait on the end of the day, I'll run it wide open now,
Sun on my back, yeah I'm leavin' town.
You said think outside the box, I just tore it apart,
Left it in pieces, sorry not sorry I broke your heart.
Pre-Chorus
You can keep your safe and sound,
I'm turnin' it up, I'm layin' it down.
You're too high a price to pay,
Not gonna live a country cliché.
Chorus
It ain't what it is, it's what I make it,
Got my own plans, I ain't gonna fake it.
Not gonna live your best life reel,
I'm out, baby, yeah this is real.
No offense, it's truth when I say it,
No empty words, I won't replay it.
Yeah, I'm done with every line you sell,
I got a song you ain't never heard tell.
You're too high a price to pay,
Not gonna live a country cliché.
Verse 2
You say there's a reason when it all goes wrong,
Got caught in your crazy but I'm movin' on.
You talk honesty like it's hard to find,
But truth shows up when I draw that line.
Pre-Chorus
You won't change, just hang new frames on the same old walls,
But I'm walkin' out, my heart's been called.
Chorus
It ain't what it is, it's what I make it,
Got my own plans, I ain't gonna fake it.
Not gonna live your best life reel,
I'm out, baby, yeah this is real.
No offense, it's truth when I say it,
No empty words, I won't replay it.
Yeah, I'm done with every line you sell,
I got a song you ain't never heard tell.
You're too high a price to pay,
Not gonna live a country cliché.
Bridge
Unprecedented, yeah I've heard that line,
I'm tired of tryin' to read your mind.
Low-hangin' fruit? I'm reachin' high,
Where the air gets clear and your lies don't fly.
Final Chorus
It ain't what it is, it's what I make it,
Got my own plans, I ain't gonna fake it.
Not gonna live your best life reel,
I'm out, baby, yeah this is real.
No offense, it's truth when I say it,
No empty words, I won't replay it.
Yeah, I'm done with every line you sell,
I got a song you ain't never heard tell.
You're too high a price to pay,
Not gonna live a country cliché.
Outro
Yeah you can keep what you're tryin' to sell,
I got a song you ain't never heard tell.
You're too high a price to pay,
Not gonna live a country cliché.
Yeah, not gonna live a country cliché.
Yeah, not gonna live a country cliché.
