i've been lucky but i've worked hard to be a full time musician for the last 13 years. the first half of my professional music career was amazing, with money and fame and all that good stuff. the second half has been a bit more difficult. i wrote this song to myself a few years ago, as a bit of a pep talk.
don't give up. don't ever give up.
BACK DOWN - lyrics
where you gonna run to, boy - when all your lies are here
cuz anywhere you run to, boy - it'll still be you in the mirror
do you really want it, boy - knowing all that you fear
i know that you're leaving, baby... i know that... you'll always be here
you said don't back down - so i won't back down
you told me don't back down - so i won't back down
is it getting better, baby - every time you curse yourself
there's got to be a better way, baby - it doesn't always have to be you against everyone else
are you hurting, baby - are you lost or just not found
nothing lasts forever, baby - so tell me that i'm something, baby
i need to hear you make the sound
and say don't back down
so i won't back down
tell me don't back down
so i won't back down
you told me don't back down
so i won't back down
you said don't back down
so i won't back down
