I never believed that I would concede 00:37

And let someone trample on me 00:39

You strung me along, I thought I was strong 00:41

But you were just gaslighting me 00:44

I've opened my eyes, and counted the lies 00:46

And now it is clearer to me 00:48

You are just a user and an abuser 00:50

Living vicariously 00:53

I never believed that I would concede 00:55

And get myself blown asunder 00:57

You strung me along, I thought I was strong 00:59

But now you have pushed me under 01:02

I've opened my eyes and counted the lies 01:04

And now it is clearer to me 01:06

You are just a user and an abuser 01:09

And I refuse to take it 01:11

Won't stand down 01:22

I'm growing stronger 01:24

Won't stand down 01:27

I'm owned no longer 01:29

Won't stand down 01:31

You've used me for too long 01:33

Now die alone 01:37

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack 01:50

I'm playing you at your own game 01:51

I'm cutting you out, a shadow of doubt 01:55

Is gonna hang over your name 01:57

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise 01:59

I will never see you the same 02:01

I know how to win, before you begin 02:04

I'll shoot you before you take aim 02:06

Now I'm coming back, a counterattack 02:08

A psychological war 02:10

I'm cutting you in, I'm under your skin 02:13

Now I'm gonna settle the score 02:15

I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise 02:17

I will never see you the same 02:20

I know how to win, before you begin 02:22

I'll shoot you before you take aim 02:24

Won't stand down 02:35

I'm growing stronger 02:37

Won't stand down 02:40

Lyrics:

[English]

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

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

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 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

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

(Won't stand down)

(Breaking out)

(Won't stand down)

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

(Won't stand down)
