LYRICS: Muse – Won’t Stand Down

Verse 1: Matt Bellamy]I never believed that I would concede and let someone trample on meYou strung me along, I thought I was strong, but you were just gaslightin’ meI’ve opened my eyes and counted the lies, and now it is clearer to meYou are just a user and an abuser, living vicariouslyI never believed that I would concede and get myself blown asunderYou strung me along, I thought I was strong, but now you have pushed me underI’ve opened my eyes and counted the lies, and now it is clearer to meYou are just a user and an abuser, and I refuse to take it

[Chorus: Matt Bellamy]Won’t stand down, I’m growing strongerWon’t stand down, I’m owned no longerWon’t stand down, you’ve used me for too longNow die alone

[Verse 2: Matt Bellamy]Now I’m coming back, a counterattack, I’m playin’ you at your own gameI’m cutting you out, a shadow of doubt is gonna hang over your nameI’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise, I will never see you the sameI know how to win, before you begin, I’ll shoot you before you take aimNow I’m coming back, a counterattack, a psychological warI’m cutting you in, I’m under your skin, now I’m gonna settle the scoreI’ve opened my eyes, I see your disguise, I will never see you the sameI know how to win, before you begin, I’ll shoot you before you take aim
