Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been here in this place

I've been stuck in this space

Like a ghost that's been missing its life

Silent words in my mouth

Yeah, they want to scream out

And I'll leave my old shadow behind

In my heart and out of my mind

[Verse 2]

Oh woah

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah

No, I can't go back, back to the way I was

[Verse 3]

I'm the leaf, I'm a seed

That's been waiting for spring

I'm a girl reinventing herself

We might fall, we might rise

We are all butterflies

Breaking free from our jars on the shelf

We're finding out the truth for ourselves

[Verse 4]

Oh woah

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah

No, I can't go back, back to the way I was

[Verse 5]

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Could be hurt, could be love

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know why, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

[Verse 6]

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where, don't know why

But I can't go back, back to the way I was

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh

Oh woah, oh woah

No, I can't go back, back to the way I was
