Muse – Won’t Stand Down

[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 gaslighting me

I’ve opened my eyes, and counted the lies, 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, 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 playing 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

[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
