I'm burning bridges, time to leave it all behind Sometimes you have to be so cruel to be so kind All the wasted days All the times you lied
I hear the voices as you hang your head in shame No time to question why with everything to gain All the sleepless nights All the times I tried I tried
And we all live with the changes There's Heaven for the chosen few, yeah If we all just think it over we can work it out All that's yours will soon be mine Don't make me cross that line
I won't back down I'll keep it together (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need) I won't back down It's never the same (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need)
Shades of a broken man who's heart's been doing time See what you want to see and say what's on your mind Let the lights go down Let the change begin Let the change begin
It's the same old situation Heaven for the chosen few If we all just think it over we can work it out All that's yours will soon be mine How could you be so blind
I won't back down I'll keep it together (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need) I won't back down It's never the same (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need)
Look around you, leave it all behind Look around you, can't you see I won't back down this time?
If I can learn this time from things I've said and done I'm gonna stand my ground and fight you till I've won Nothing you can say Just let it be Can you hear what I'm saying You never will so why don't you set me free
I won't back down I'll keep it together (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need) I won't back down It's never the same (You got what you wanted from me) It's never the same (You got what you need)
(I won't back down) You got what you want from me (You got what you wanted from me) (You got what you need) (I won't back down) Everything you say and do It's never the same (You got what you wanted from me) Someday it comes back on you (You got what you need) I won't back down I won't back down
