Reputation Lyrics

[Chorus]
Take my own life just to save yours
Drink it all down just to throw it up
Take my own life just to save yours (Just to save yours)
Take my own life just to save yours
I got a reputation that I can't deny
You're the superstar, entertain us (Entertain us)

[Bridge]
Entertain us, but please, don't wake me up
I betrayed us, but us don't give a fuck
Kill myself today, kill it all away
Broken path I made
Please, just stay away

[Verse 1]
I know I fucked up before, but I won't do it again
And I got a lot of things that I wish I would've said
And I'm the same damn fool, and I'm wearin' that hat again
I know I fucked up and I can't make it right

[Verse 2]
Watch yourself, I can't slow down
This is who I am, can't be anyonе else, so
Don't let mе go, save yourself
Just save yourself, just save yourself
I was born to raise hell, I was born to take pills
I was born to chase mills, I was born to cave in
I was born to fuck hoes, I was born to fuck up
I was born, what a shame
[Chorus]
Take my own life just to save yours
Drink it all down just to throw it up
Take my own life just to save yours (Just to save yours)
Take my own life just to save yours
I got a reputation that I can't deny
You're the superstar, entertain us (Entertain us)

[Outro]
Cut my thumb up
Count my check, count my check
Let me choke on my cigarettes, cigarettes
Cut my thumb up
Count my check, count my check
Let me choke on my cigarettes and heavy debt

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

On his vulnerable album intro, Austin lays all his vulnerabilities and short comings on full display. Weighing heavy on his conscious, Austin delves into the price that comes with his enormous fame, and the effect it has on his personality and relationships. In the same fashion and with similar themes as his 2019 album’s intro, “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” this intro sets the tone thematically for the remainder of the album.

Although unclear whether he is addressing a past lover or his own fans, Austin discusses themes of self-reflection, regret, emotional vulnerability and sacrifice.

In an effort to portray the full spectrum of his emotions, Austin employs a simple combination of sounds, formed by a piano and his own voice. In addition to the simple fusion of sounds, he also uses repetition multiple times throughout the song, most notably in his second verse, augmenting the agony and regret he’s going through. One interesting point to note is Austin’s use of piano, which is a rare occurrence on his songs (and hopefully a recurrent one).
