[Verse 1]
Can't take back what you took from me
Still scared to show vulnerability
Still stutter when I speak
The tip of my tongue under lock and key
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to run from the pain
But it does me in
Tried to drink it away
But it learned to swim
Tried to hide from the hurt
But it found me out
Guess I'll stare it down
[Chorus]
In the dark, I'm a floodlight
Like the moon in a black sky
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
Underground, I'm a geyser
In the pit, I'm the viper
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
But I won't go under
No, I won't go under
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
[Verse 2]
I tried to draw that red line
Softly, I always apologize
But I'm sick of being polite
Hoping your ego ain't here to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to run from the pain
But it does me in
Tried to drink it away
But it learned to swim
Tried to hide from the hurt
But it found me out
Guess I'll stare it down
[Chorus]
In the dark, I'm a floodlight
Like the moon in a black sky
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
Underground, I'm a geyser
In the pit, I'm the viper
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
But I won't go under
No, I won't go under
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
[Bridge]
I'm not gonna fade (I'm not gonna fade)
I'm not gonna fade out
I'm not gonna break, I'm not gonna break down
Even if I fall, I'm not gonna stay down
I'm not gonna fade (I'm not gonna fade)
I'm not gonna fade out (I won't fade out)
I'm not gonna break, I'm not gonna break down
Even if I fall, not staying down
[Chorus]
In the dark, I'm a floodlight
Like the moon in a black sky
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
Underground, I'm a geyser
In the pit, I'm the viper
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
But I won't go under
No, I won't go under
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
No, I won't go under
No, I won't go under
On the rise like a new world wonder
Pull me down but I won't go under
