[Ad-lib: Machine Gun Kelly]
Turn my vocals up, alright

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
I wrote this song as a message for help
On behalf of anybody finding their-self
I wrote this letter to numb your pain
'Cause everyday I wake up I'm feeling 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 tearing mine apart

[Chorus: 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

[Post-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up cause life is about, aight check this out

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
Life is about making mistakes
It's also about trying to be great
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 waiting for a moment
Shed a lot of tears just to smile in the morning
Tell me could you love me, tell me could you love me
Tell me could you love me if I told you why

[Chorus: 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

[Bridge: 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 trying 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

[Chorus: 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

[Post-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it going, got to keep my head up cause life is about

[himadriii]

"I know you fed up, you fall, get up"
This is so powerful. I needed this.

[ashleyrude]

The sad thing is every single line on MGK'S part is the part that hits me more. I know my worth but sometimes i wonder if my worth is worth it.

[prashantkastury]

I can't tell you how much I love Hailee's voice

[deaconbelile]

At My Best had helped me deal with the loss of a best friend I lost. I'd known him for 9 years. I was a wreck. But then this song found me and it changed my whole perspective. So I just want to say thank you Machine Gun Kelly.

[yayaamarie]

Do not let fear scare you away

[chloe-xlwz]

Am I the only one who keeps replaying this?

[jamieeagle]

Dude...I just heard this song and love it! To all my fellow outcasts.... just keep being u! Idk if anyone here is an Aquarius... but u must know the feeling...I feel alone. This song helps

[seanthearies]

Fave part is Hers, but his part on ... "do I need to be you just to please you, do I even need you should I leave you?" Is just adding to the raw, human struggles of.. everyday life? Lol..

[Lanibani]

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 worse, You don't deserve me at my best. Periodt.

[JoshuaDavis-myyx]

Going through a divorce right now. Didn't know a human being could make me feel so much pain, without a scratch on my body... Between this song, "I think I'm ok", "play this when I'm gone", and "home", I'm a new MGK fan. I had no idea what this man was capable of🥺

[brie_decarvalho]

I love this song I even just heard it today for the first time and I have already memorized all of the words to the song including Michine Gun Kelly's part

[crackerjack]

Wow I been missing this all this time truly spoken through Music where words fail and the heart expresses with intensity the triumphs and failures in our lives. Much needed and appreciated Machine gun Kelly for doing exactly that.

[ChristopherReal-Woods-zmnc]

So much power in this song. So much power. Thumbs up if you agree

[priscillajackson]

I love this song!!! Life's about making mistakes. Getting better & better...stronger, not just physically but mentally & spiritually. I don't strive to be perfect, I strive to be BETTER than I was yesterday.

[xocoolchickxo]

I really love the combo between Hailee and MGK's voices' in this song
I have this song on replay all the time! :D

[TheGaming]

My ALL Time Favorite song in 2020, largely because of just how relevant it is to our pandemic! This makes me feel better at all times, and I have only known about this song for a few days.

[jaesa]

I was about to sing along with Hailee but then I saw her picture staring right through my soul as if saying, "You can't sing this better than me bitch"

[girlygirlbee]

Sometimes I honestly feel like the bigest failure but I'm not.

[gunneranderson]

this is good for me I get bullied and this helps

[imitsvoice]

What a masterpiece song but it's so underrated 😭
