Lyrics

Live a Lie

[Verse 1]

I won't live a lie, I don't hide

I don't hide

I won't let you pull me down

I'll be who I am and I will, I will live

I'm alive

[Chorus]

If you think I'll break because you think I'm the same

I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie

You can't keep me this way, I will escape

I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie

Fear will never conquer me

It will guide my way

I welcome this day

Welcome me this way

Fear will never overcome me

[Verse 2]

Finally, you begin to see, I was built to me more

Never will I settle for your worth

You can't trust what you know, this is just the beginning

I'm right here

You can't deter me

I'm right here

You can't escape me

I'm right here

You'll never find your way out

[Refrain]

This is me

This is me

[Verse 2]

If you think I'll break because you think I'm the same

I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie

You can't keep me this way, I will escape

I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie

Fear will never conquer me

It will guide my way

I welcome this day

Welcome me this way

Fear will never overcome me

[Bridge]

So many times

I've laid by the wayside

While I let them tear at me

It's my time to believe

If you ever believed in something

It's time you believed in me

If you think I'll break because you think I'm the same

[Chorus]

If you think I'll break because you think I'm the same

(I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie)

You can't keep me this way, I will escape

(I won't live a lie, I won't live a lie)

Fear will never conquer me, it will guide my way

I welcome this day (Welcome me this way)

It will never overcome me

[Outro]

I won't let anything come before me

This is who I am, I am alive
