I Won't Back Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hands shake, still I step through the door Every bruise says I’ve been here before They drew a line, said “stay where you are” I learned to run with a split-open heart [Pre-Chorus] If I’m afraid, let it come along I’ve carried worse and I’m still standing strong [Chorus] I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ll take the hit, I’ll take the road With every breath, with every scar I’m getting closer to who we are Say I’m too small, say I’m too late I’ll make my choice, I’ll change my fate I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ve got a fire they can’t control [Verse 2] Notebook full of names I couldn’t save A thousand plans for the day I’m brave But courage isn’t waiting to feel no fear It’s stepping forward while the danger’s near [Pre-Chorus] If I fall short, I’ll rise once more I know exactly what I’m fighting for [Chorus] I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ll take the hit, I’ll take the road With every breath, with every scar I’m getting closer to who we are Say I’m too small, say I’m too late I’ll make my choice, I’ll change my fate I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ve got a fire they can’t control [Bridge] One more step when my knees give way One more promise I’ll keep today You don’t have to face this alone I’ll be the hand that pulls you home [Final Chorus] I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ll take the hit, I’ll take the road With every breath, with every scar I’m getting closer to who we are Say I’m too small, say I’m too late I’ll make my choice, I’ll change my fate I won’t back down, I won’t fold I’ve got a fire they can’t control [Outro] I’m still here I’m still moving
