[Verse 1]

You needed someone, so I stayed behind

I became those helping hands that dried your eyes

Every time you'd fall down, that's when I'd hurt

I'd go bury all of my dreams in the backyard dirt


[Chorus]

I've been through the fire, but I'm still here

Held by a hope that's stronger than my fears

I'm not done yet, no, I won't back down

In a world that keeps trying to push me around


[Verse 2]

There were nights I'd lie awake in our old house

My head full of worries, my heart full of doubt

She would always tell me stay strong, be bold

While I tried to carry the weight I couldn't hold


[Chorus]

I've been through the fire, but I'm still here

Held by a hope that's stronger than my fears

I'm not done yet, no, I won't back down

In a world that keeps trying to push me around


[Outro]

I'll never give up

I'll never give up

I'll never give up

In a world that keeps trying to push me around
