Lyrics

Big Hype

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Big hype, big letdown

Though it's easy to forget

It will keep you on the ground

Don't count on good fortune

Just make your fortune count on you

Make your fortune count on you

Don't, don't believe the hype

Don't, don't believe the hype

[Bridge: Driis]

You're fortunate now

But somehow your past should show you how

To keep your feet down on the ground

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]

I have tried

I have failed

Every sea to scare the sailor, I have sailed

But the only souvenir I've returned with

Is never never never trust big hype

No, never

[Verse 2: DA]

I have loved

I have lost

I have made my way but also paid the cost

Though I wouldn't trade a lesson

The impression I wish to leave is

Never, never, never trust

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]

Big hype, big letdown

Though it's easy to forget

It will keep you on the ground

Don't count on good fortune

Just make your fortune count on you

Make your fortune count on you

Don't, don't believe the hype

Don't, don't believe the hype

[Bridge: Driis]

You are fortunate now

But somehow your past should show you how

To keep your feet down on the ground

[Verse 3: Patrick Stump]

I have loved

I have lost

I have made my way but also paid the cost

Though I wouldn't trade a lesson

The impression I wish to leave is

Never, never, never trust

[Chorus]

Big hype, big letdown

Though it's easy to forget

It could keep you on the ground

Don't count on good fortune

Just make your fortune count on you

Make your fortune count on you

Don't, don't believe the hype

Don't, don't believe the hype

[Bridge: Driis]

You are fortunate now

But somehow your past should show you how

To keep your feet down on the ground

[Outro: Patrick Stump]

It's lonely at the top when you kick friends off

Don't let them see you cry
