Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything I own, everything I give
Nothing to say, oh, I didn't mean it
Why'd I wanna say it again?
I didn't say it again
It's always the way that I assume everything now
I wear a different hat every morning as I get up and say to myself
"Who will you beat on today?"
[PreChorus]
Do you feel like
Do you feel like waiting on?
Is it right or is it wrong?
[Chorus]
I'm fighting these days
My personal thunder
It's stripping me down
Locked in a cage, but I won't surrender
[Instrumental]
It's been less than an hour and I'm already pacing the room
Turn on my heels
Won't look in the mirror anymore
Look at my face anymore
Smelling the fresh air and it's blow, blowing in my face
On the street, my hair is free
It's the first time that I can truly breathe
The first time that I can truly breathe (Oh)
[Chorus]
I'm fighting these days
My personal thunder
It's stripping me down
Locked in a cage, but I won't surrender
Oh, yeah
I'm fighting these days
My personal thunder
It's stripping me down
Locked in a cage, but I won't surrender
[Instrumental]
And I don't think I can find any answers
To these questions
In my way
I would choose a face that works for me
All of the time
All of the time
Time, now, now
Oh, woah, woah
Hey, yeah, yeah, oh
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Hey
[Chorus]
I'm fighting these days (Fighting these days)
My personal thunder (Personal thunder)
It's stripping me down
Locked in a cage, but I won't surrender
Oh, yeah (I'm down, down, down, down)
I'm fighting these days
My personal thunder
It's stripping me down (Stripping me down)
Locked in a cage, but I won't surrender
[Outro]
Mm, down
I won't surrender
I won't surrender
I won't surrender
