[Verse 1]

I never believed that I would concede

And let someone trample on me

You strung me along, I thought I was strong

But you were just gaslightin' me

I've opened my eyes and counted the lies

And now it is clearer to me

You are just a user and an abuser

Living vicariously

I never believed that I would concede

And get myself blown asunder

You strung me along, I thought I was strong

But now you have pushed me under

I've opened my eyes and counted the lies

And now it is clearer to me

You are just a user and an abuser

And I refuse to take it


[Chorus]

Won't stand down, I'm growing stronger

Won't stand down, I'm owned no longer

Won't stand down, you've used me for too long

Now die alone


[Verse 2]

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack

I'm playin' you at your own game

I'm cutting you out, a shadow of doubt

Is gonna hang over your name

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise

I will never see you the same

I know how to win before you begin

I'll shoot you before you take aim

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack

A psychological war

I'm cutting you in, I'm under your skin

Now I'm gonna settle the score

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise

I will never see you the same

I know how to win before you begin

I'll shoot you before you take aim


[Chorus]

Won't stand down, I'm growing stronger

Won't stand down, I'm owned no longer

Won't stand down, you've used me for too long

Now die alone


[Breakdown]

Won't stand down

Breaking out

Won't stand down


[Chorus]

Won't stand down, I'm growing stronger

Won't stand down, I'm owned no longer

Won't stand down, you've used me for too long

Now die alone


[Outro]

Won't stand down

Won't stand down
