Won't Back Down Lyrics

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
