[Verse 1] I walked the line I stay out the way, yeah Never speak my mind Livin' in a shade of grey But the more I got 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I've watch the game I've stood on the side line 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge: Tedashii] 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 da 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 try to 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 [Chorus] 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
