I am a fire under wind
I am a lion deep within
I don't want you to slow me down
I don't want you to stall me

You got claws, scratch away at me
Rag doll, fall down, make a meal of me
I am the sand, you are the sea
You are all of me, you drown me

I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed
Then I can see, that my heart still beats
I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning

Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down (no)

Condemn me down to burning shores
You think I ain't been here before
I've been here way more times than you
Could ever dream to fathom

You want more, get away from me
I don't need you, goodness sake, I mean
How could you think you stand over me?
I'm alive now, electric

I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed
Then I can see, that my heart still beats
I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning

Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down

Oh I rise up babe, I got you inside
You never wanted me to feel like I'm worth your time
Caught up in game after game but I am getting tired
You're on me just like a snake, ready to take my life

We gotta let this go, it's all over baby
Oh, wanna let you know I've strengthened over time
Us, like we never learned how to be seperated
Oh, wanna let you know I'm driftin' with the tide

Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down

Take it to the heart, and wash it out
Go back to the start, it's raging now
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down
(No, no, no)
I don't want you to break me down
