Bustin’ Out Lyrics

I've had enough
As much as I can take
I've almost lost my courage to create
If I leave here alive
I leave nothing behind
Now I wanna let you know
Here's where I draw the line

I'm bustin' out
I'm bustin' out

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oooh
Hey, hey

I've learned limitations
Through my life and times
But now I'm reaching
Just to hold my head up high
If I leave here alive
I leave nothing behind
Now I wanna let you know
Here's where I draw the line

I'm bustin' out
I'm bustin' out
I'm, I'm bustin' out, bustin' out
I'm bustin' out
Gonna move on
Gonna hold on
Gonna move on

I've got this cell door
Without a handle hold
I'm gonna move on

Been so many years I've been inside of here
Now I'm bustin' out, there will be no more tears

If I leave here alive
I leave nothing behind
Now I wanna let you know
Here's where I draw the line

'Cause I'm bustin' out
I'm bustin' out
I'm bustin' out
I'm bustin' out

Bustin' out, bustin' out, bustin' out
Bustin' out, bustin' out, bustin' out
Bustin' out, bustin' out, bustin' out...

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 [?]
