From the recording Demo Days
Lyrics
Stand my ground
Verse 1
Same street, same late night glow
Same old voices I outgrew
Every word tried to pull me down
But I’m not listening now
Tried to be what they all want
Played it safe, I played it wrong
Now I’m done with backing out
Hear me say it loud
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need your doubt
I’m not breaking now
Chorus
I stand my ground, I won’t give in
I’ve come too far to start again
All this time I played it safe
Now I’m done being afraid
Say it loud, I’m breaking through
I’m not the same kid you once knew
Turn it up, don’t slow it down
I stand my ground—I stand my ground
Verse 2
Fast days, no looking back
Heart racing off the track
Every scar I tried to hide
Now I wear with pride
All the nights I almost quit
All the times I hated this
Built me into who I am
Yeah I’m done with them
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need your doubt
I’m not fading out
Chorus
I stand my ground—I won’t give in
I’ve come too far to start again
All this time I played it safe
Now I’m done being afraid
Say it loud, I’m breaking through
I’m not the same kid you once knew
Turn it up, don’t slow it down
I stand my ground—I stand my ground
Bridge
I was lost but I found my way
Every word I couldn’t say
Now it’s all coming out tonight
Final Chorus
I stand my ground—I won’t give in
I’ve come too far to start again
All this time I played it safe
Now I’m done being afraid
Say it loud, I’m breaking through
I’m not the same kid you once knew
Turn it up, don’t slow it down
I stand my ground—I STAND MY GROUND
