[Verse 1]
I've been told that I'm not good enough a million times.
I've been trying to kid myself with a million lies.
I've been saying "I'm so strong" when I'm dying inside.
I was engineered that way, I've been left behind.
[Pre-Chorus]
Well you are, you are more than you will ever know.
You are, you are
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
Don't tell me that you can't, and that you're gonna back down.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
And I know it's been cold in your soul,
And you know that I've been there too.
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now,
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you.
[Verse 2]
I start to unravel 'cause I'm battling the darkest storm.
But I'm still here and it's clear I've gotta win this war.
My tongue's been tied and my hands been forced,
Everything seems much better when I'm holding yours.
[Pre-Chorus]
Well you are, you are more than you will ever know.
You are, you are
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
Don't tell me that you can't, and that you're gonna back down.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
And I know it's been cold in your soul,
And you know that I've been there too.
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now,
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you.
[Bridge]
Someone said 'reach for the stars' but I reach for the clouds,
So if I fall, at least I know I'm back on the ground.
I float back up and then I swim back down,
'Cause I won't sink, no I won't drown.
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
Don't tell me that you can't, and that you're gonna back down.
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
Don't tell me that you can't, and that you're gonna back down.
You're gonna stand here and fight for it.
And I know it's been cold in your soul,
And you know that I've been there too.
Don't tell me that you're gonna run away from it now,
I'm gonna stand here and fight with you.
