Seraphine Black - I'm Not Backing Down Lyrics

I've been knocked down hit the ground hard
Bruises and scars but I'm still here got heart
You threw your stones tried to break my skin
But I'm made of steel; I'm stronger within

I'm done playing safe done hiding away
Every time I fell it taught me to stay
So bring on the fire I'm ready to stand
I'll rise from the ashes fists in the sand

Yeah I'm me I'm not backing down
Doesn't matter what you say I'm still around
I'm breaking free tearing up my past
You can't stop me - I'll make this last
I'm my own no fear no shame
I'll take the hit I'll own the pain
'Cause every fall every hit I take
Just fuels the strength I'll never fake

Spent too long trying to fit in their mold
Living by rules that were too damn cold
Now I see clearly I'm burning the lies
What you thought was my end was just my rise

You can push and shove I'll keep coming back
I'm bruised but fierce right on track
I'll wear these scars like a warrior's crown
In the face of the storm I'll never back down

Yeah I'm me I'm not backing down
Doesn't matter what you say I'm still around
I'm breaking free tearing up my past
You can't stop me - I'll make this last
I'm my own no fear no shame
I'll take the hit I'll own the pain
'Cause every fall every hit I take
Just fuels the strength I'll never fake


So here I stand proud and tall
I won't break I'll never fall
Every bruise every tear I've cried
Made me bold made me alive


I'm done with hiding done with the fight
This is me in my own light
No matter the scars no matter the bruises
I'll wear them proud no more excuses
