Second Chance (Don’t Back Down)

[Verse 1]

I've been a man ever since I can remember

I've never been a big fan of December

The nights get cold

Nobody there to take care of me

Nobody there to tell me that they love me

And nobody knows

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But we were born and raised in the days

Where you couldn't even pay to get away from the pain

And that's where we live, all day

And now we get paid to be slaves of our very own grave

And I say it every goddamn day, "That's no way to live"

[Chorus]

I've been called the murderer, killer

I've just played with the hand that they deal us

I've been called a loser, an outlaw

Shut down in my very own backyard

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

Don't back down, don't back down, not now, not never

[Verse 2]

What's your agenda, I never claimed that I wasn't a sinner

Bless my soul

I've been down for too many days

I might drown in all these haters out of control

[Pre-Chorus 2]

We were born and raised in the days

Where you couldn't even pay to get away from the pain

And that's where we live, permanently

But now we get paid to be slaves of our very own grave

And I say it every goddamn day, "That's no way to live"

No, not for me

[Chorus]

I've been called the murderer, killer

I've just played with the hand that they deal us

I've been called a loser, an outlaw

Shut down in my very own backyard

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

Don't back down, don't back down, not now, not never

[Bridge]

Who better to fix you other than you? ooh

You know exactly what you want, you know exactly what you gotta do

You just gotta do it, do it

You just gotta do it, do it

[Chorus]

I've been called the murderer, killer

I've just played with the hand that they deal us

I've been called a loser, an outlaw

Shut down in my very own backyard

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

In this crazy world, we all deserve a second chance

Don't back down, don't back down, not now, not never
