♪ You gotta sink to learn to swim These are the rules that they teach and they want you to live Apologies will never tell And I know that Way too well brought down By somebody else's Lack of education Shouldn't be that it hurts But I took All the advice that I could take Before I found to give up Hey I bet you thought I'd give up Oh And this is what they taught me These are the lies you gotta believe That give you everything to lose If you disagree Apologies are overused And I've been cutting the line Way too thin I'm aware of this bitter behavior I lost myself somewhere I never wanted to be Now it's time to start all over We will head to the light But we never will Oh You can't back down Can't back down Can't Oh You can't back out now Back out now We are what you say We are not what you think Too lonely to survive Lost and we're staring back at bloodshot eyes Almost fell below The ground that I was standing on Oh no You said it yourself You're disappointed I'm ashamed and embarrassed I said I was a failure A failure But no matter how low Oh You can't back down Can't back down Can't Oh You can't back out now Oh You can't back down Can't back down Can't Oh You can't back out now Back out now We are what you say Oh Oh Yeah Yeah Oh
