Not Backing Down Lyrics - Singles - Hammet Melanie

sometimes i get so tired - sometimes it gets too hard 

i don't know what keeps me going and i whistle in the dark 

sometimes it feels like there's work to be done 

and i can barely maintain 

and there's not enough time and i'm so far behind 

and nothing will ever change 

CHORUS 

i'm not backing away, not backing out, not backing down 

a fire will burn, it's coming my way 

i've got an ear to the ground 

but i'm not backing down 

there are days that pass like hours 

there are hours that pass like days 

there are lifetimes to be left behind and i can't seem to walk away 

there are days when i'm just killing time and days when it kills me 

and i can't see the end of the endless days 

and i don't have the energy 

CHORUS 

but inside my heart is a dream - it's a dream that won't let me fall 

tho sometimes a dream is just a dream 

and what's real is the clock on the wall 

well maybe i'm a fool with a joker up my sleeve 

but i have my dream - i believe what i know 

and i know what i believe 

CHORUS
