Everyday is the same old story
Get a job nine to five and you'll be just fine
Everyday just gets so boring
Go to school play the rules and you'll be alright
I know I'm not the things you want me to be
And I know I'm not the things you see in me
It's not in what you see, It's in who I want to be

Seems I've been waiting for a lifetime to finally have the strength to say
That I've been waiting for a miracle that's not coming from you

Back down I won't back down
Back down I won't back down
Back down I won't back down
Not this time, not this time

There's a place inside my head
A place that lives inside of everything that I know
But I'm not going down, I'm not going down like this

Seems I've been waiting for a lifetime to finally have the strength to say
And I've been waiting for a miracle that's not coming from you

Back down I won't back down
Back down I won't back down
Back down I won't back down
Not this time, not this time
