Best of Me

Think I'm steel

Tough as nails

Never feel

Never fail

But you're wrong

So damn wrong

Feel the weight

Of your hate

I still bleed

My heart aches

As you take

And you take

Words cut through my skin

Tears roll down my chin

My walls crumble within

But I'll take it all on

And get up when I fall

'Til the last curtain call

But you'll never get the best of me, no more

Said you'll never get the best of me, no more

Aren't you tired of throwing stones

Trying to kick me when I'm down

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

So you're cold

Made of ice

Heart of stone

Born to fight

But I cry

I still cry

Are you happy

You know

I'm unhappy

You know

Take your shot

I'm wide open

Words cut through my skin

Tears roll down my chin

My walls crumble within

But I'll take it all on

And get up when I fall

'Til the last curtain call

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

Said you'll never get the best of me, no more

Aren't you tired of throwing stones

Trying to kick me when I'm down

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

Said you'll never get the best of me, no more

Aren't you tired of throwing stones

Trying to kick me when I'm down

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

Heartbroken an beaten

Knocked down and mistreated

I will rise undefeated

I will not let you bring me down

Now the pain is deleted

And I will never repeat it

I will rise and defeat it

I will not let you bring me down

No, I won't let you bring me down

Knocked down and mistreated

Heartbroken and bleeding

Still I rise undefeated

'Cause you'll never...

'Cause you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

Said you'll never get the best of me, no more

Aren't you tired of throwing stones

Trying to kick me when I'm down

But you'll never get the best of me, no you won't

Heartbroken and bleeding

Knocked down and mistreated

I will rise undefeated

I will not let you bring me down

Now the pain is deleted

And I will never repeat it

I will rise and defeat it

I will not let you bring me down
