lyrics

Don’t back down
Baby you’re the famous girl in town
You make all the boys fall at your feet
I can never say a single thing to you without grief
Don’t back down
I try to think of things that will impress you
Something to say that will make you cool
But all I puke up are endless grim platitudes

I wanna be the liar you want to be the saint
I wanna start a fire you want to quell the flames
The thing about you is, it’s never not awkward
But something in your glare is too much for little me to take

Don’t back down
The first time we met was a small moment
I’d lie if I said that you blew me away
I didn’t feel the spark that everyone talks about

I wanna be the liar you want to be the saint
I wanna start a fire you want to quell the flames
The thing about you is, it’s never not awkward
But something in your glare is too much for me to take

I don’t wanna fight for you, no
I don’t wanna fight for you anymore
I come out of the swamp
And I know I’m done
I come out of the swamp
And I know it’s done
I know it’s done

Don’t back down
Baby you’re the famous girl in town
You make all the boys fall at your feet
I can never say a single thing to you without grief
