Back Down Lyrics

You leave yourself wide open
to this type of abuse
it's hard to keep from hanging
when you're tying the noose
and still you try to scurry
when the shots begin to fly
hard to find shelter when you're the bulls eye
(Chorus)
and I won't back down until you kill me
'cause I can't get out unless you make me
I'm not the man but god I wish I could be
so I won't back down
back down

And still you drag it on
to the point of disbelief
If only one could stand up
and know just when to leave
somehow you always think
there's a way that we can mend it
and that's what you get
for claiming a dependent
(Chorus)

you always want more than you need
and then you need more than you want
it's over I'm tired it's over

you always bleed
just to heal
just to bleed
it's colder each day grows colder
and if you bet then bet it all
'cause we've already dropped the ball
it's faded it's what we made of it now
and I won't back down

(Chorus)(x2)

I can't get out
I won't back down
Because I can't get out
