"Won't Stand Down"

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 gaslightin' me
I've opened my eyes and counted the lies
And 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
And 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

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack
I'm playin' 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

[Breakdown:]
Won't stand down
Breaking out
Won't stand down

[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

[Outro:]
Won't stand down
Won't stand down
