Not Backing Down

I walked the line
 I stay out the way, yeah
 Never speak my mind
 Livin' in a shade of grey
 But the more I get to know me
 The more you start to show me
 This isn't how it's meant to be
 So I'll just keep on walking
 And you can keep on talking
 I'ma have to make a scene, yeah
 I played it safe, been afraid my whole life
 Now things have changed
 Won't stay silent this time
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, you can't count me out
 Nothin' in this world gonna stop me now
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, I'm not backing down, down, down
 ♪
 No, I'm not backing-
 ♪
 No, I'm not backing down
 I've watched the game
 I've stood on the sideline
 That same old same
 But now it's my time, yeah
 'Cause if you don't stand for nothin'
 You always fall for somethin'
 This isn't how it's meant to be
 So I'll just keep on walking
 Let him do the talking
 I'ma have to make a scene, yeah
 I played it safe, been afraid my whole life
 Now things have changed
 Won't stay silent this time
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, you can't count me out
 Nothin' in this world gonna stop me now
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, I'm not backing down, down, down
 Yeah, I been there, did that
 Afraid to be me, so I hid that
 Gripped with the fear, so I disappeared
 Then dropped to the ground like a missed catch
 But I, I'm done with that
 You can tell 'em all that I'm done with that
 No more backing down into the background
 That's now, 'cause I put them old habits down
 I follow the leader
 And where he may take me may make me a leader
 It's wrote on the wall, all you need do is read it
 Can't be a lame duck and soar with the eagles
 So I'm crossin' the line
 Tell 'em all dog that I lost too much time
 Ain't stayin' in this place 'cause I gotta win the race
 And I'm runnin' for the crown
 Ain't backin' down now
 I played it safe, been afraid my whole life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
 Now things have changed (yeah)
 Won't stay silent this time
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, you can't count me out
 Nothin' in this world gonna stop me now
 No, I'm not backing down
 No, I'm not backing down, down, down (I'm not backing down)
