lyrics

I’ve been at this for years
You might not see it clear
But I’ve still been here

I fought through every tear
So you wouldn’t see the fear
And it all brought me here

But my time won’t be wasted
I will take this fear and face it

I beg my heart to keep beating
Saying please don’t fail me now
I have to keep on believing
This’ll all turn out somehow
‘Cause I’m not backing down
Down
No no
I’m not backing down

I had some dues to pay
And games I tried to play
Learned the hard way

But I learned from my mistakes
On this path I chose to take
And it’s here I still remain

And my time won’t be wasted
I will take this dream and chase it

I beg my heart to keep beating
Saying please don’t fail me now
I have to keep on believing
This’ll all turn out somehow
‘Cause I’m not backing down
Down
No no
I’m not backing down

I’m not gonna back down, no
Not gonna back down, I’m not gonna back down
(I’m not backing down)

I beg my heart to keep beating
Saying please don’t fail me now
I have to keep on believing
This’ll all turn out somehow
‘Cause I’m not backing down
Down
No
Down
No no
I’m not backing down
