I'm Not Backing Down Lyrics

I've been knocked down hit the ground hard

Bruises and scars but I'm still here got heart

You threw your stones tried to break my skin

But I'm made of steel; I'm stronger within

I'm done playing safe done hiding away

Every time I fell it taught me to stay

So bring on the fire I'm ready to stand

I'll rise from the ashes fists in the sand

Yeah I'm me I'm not backing down

Doesn't matter what you say I'm still around

I'm breaking free tearing up my past

You can't stop me – I'll make this last

I'm my own no fear no shame

I'll take the hit I'll own the pain

'Cause every fall every hit I take

Just fuels the strength I'll never fake

Spent too long trying to fit in their mold

Living by rules that were too damn cold

Now I see clearly I'm burning the lies

What you thought was my end was just my rise

You can push and shove I'll keep coming back

I'm bruised but fierce right on track

I'll wear these scars like a warrior's crown

In the face of the storm I'll never back down

Yeah I'm me I'm not backing down

Doesn't matter what you say I'm still around

I'm breaking free tearing up my past

You can't stop me – I'll make this last

I'm my own no fear no shame

I'll take the hit I'll own the pain

'Cause every fall every hit I take

Just fuels the strength I'll never fake

So here I stand proud and tall

I won't break I'll never fall

Every bruise every tear I've cried

Made me bold made me alive

I'm done with hiding done with the fight

This is me in my own light

No matter the scars no matter the bruises

I'll wear them proud no more excuses
