Respect is lost when trust is gone You walk around like nothing's wrong You can't erase the damage you've done There's a price you pay when you hurt someone You can't buy your reputation You can't cover up your mistakes Mask the broken lies with a smile And disguise who's to blame I won't back down I won't back down I won't back down I'm strong enough to hold my ground, mmm ♪ No taking back what you did I won't forget and I won't forgive I can't lay down what I know what's right Gotta get up, stand and fight How does it feel to know now You don't have a hold on me? I see myself in a different light And tonight, I'm breaking free I won't back down Back down I won't back down I'm strong enough to hold my ground ♪ I won't back down, won't back down I won't back down, back down I won't back down, won't back down I won't back down I'm strong enough to hold my ground, yeah
