Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I threw away my innocence when I was seventeen
Lost track of what's magnificent, forgot my memories
But I'm marchin' on to a different drum
And nothing will stand in my way
[Verse 2]
No, you can't stop me now
No, you can't stop me now
Hangin' on by a thread, hangin' over my head
But you won't knock me down
Hear the roar of the crowd
No, you can't stop me now
No, I'm nothin' like you, I got so much to prove
No, you won't knock me down
[Verse 3]
I woke up from a dream, the voices sounded dissonant
I followed a path that wasn't mine
Took on the enemy, I told myself I'd never quit
I gotta move forward, not back in time
[Verse 4]
Singin' ah-ooh, I'm gonna show you, show you
The man in the mirror stole all my pride
Ooh, now that I know you
[Verse 5]
No, you can't stop me now
No, you can't stop me now
Hangin' on by a thread, hangin' over my head
But you won't knock me down
Hear the roar of the crowd
No, you can't stop me now
No, I'm nothin' like you, I got so much to prove
No, you won't knock me down
[Verse 6]
When I was 17, I threw away my innocence
The worst part of me took over my mind
Singin' ah-ooh, I'm gonna show you, show you
The man in the mirror stole all my pride
Ooh, now that I know you
[Verse 7]
No, you can't stop me now
No, you can't stop me now
Hangin' on by a thread, hangin' over my head
But you won't knock me down
Hear the roar of the crowd
No, you can't stop me now
No, I'm nothin' like you, I got so much to prove
No, you won't knock me down
