[English]

Feeling broken

Barely holding on

But there's just something so strong

Somewhere inside me

And I am down, but I'll get up again

Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it, I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that

I won't stay around

But I'm gonna stand my ground

You're not gonna stop me

You don't know me

You don't know who I am

Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it, I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out, this is not the end

I'm down now, but I'll be standing tall again

Times are hard, but I was built tough

I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it, I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

I am far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

No, no, I'm not going nowhere

I'm staying right here

Oh, no, you won't see me beg

I'm not taking my bow

Can't stop me, it's not the end

You haven't seen the last of me

Oh, no, you haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me
