Lyrics

Gretel (Solo Acoustic)

[Verse]

It’s calling me back

House of Sugar

Did they bury me here?

Daddy, don’t let 'em put me down

Daddy, don’t let 'em turn me around

[Chorus]

I don’t wanna go back

Nobody’s gonna push me off track, uh huh

I see what they do

Good people got something to lose, uh huh

I don’t wanna go back

Nobody’s gonna push me off track, uh huh

I don’t wanna be this

Good people gotta fight to exist, uh huh
