Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stand my honesty
I won't back down 'cause I
Stand my own ground i'm all alone now
I'll face my fears and leave without a sound
I'll wait to die another day
Don't let me hide, don't make me stay
No, I won't cry, instead, I'll pray
I won't back down
Say you gon' kill me when I'm in your town
Come around, you know where to be found
I've been waiting for this
Moment my whole life
(Waiting for this moment my whole life)
It's too cold to go outside
And I'm too tired to leave your side
I'll be ready for it when it's my time
I've been waiting for this
Moment my whole life
(Waiting for this moment my whole life)
