Can't Break Me Down
Exilia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you say isn't what I need
Take a chance,
Did you ever have a dream?
You cut me to the core
Don't wanna hear no more

Every time that you built me up
You had to knock me down
Every time, but I've had enough
Take your best shot now

You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You'll never conquer me
You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You won't be conquering me

Hide your face, cover up yourself
Do you have a soul
In your body left to sell?
You cut me to the core
You can't hurt me no more

Every time that you built me up
You had to knock me down
Every time, but I've had enough

Take your best shot now

You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You'll never conquer me
You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You won't be conquering me
Won't be conquering me

You can't break me...
You can't break me down
You can't break me...

You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You'll never conquer me
You can't break me down
You can't push me around
Still I stand, still I stand
You won't be conquering me
You won't be conquering me
You can't break me...
You can't break me...




Still I stand, still I stand
Still I stand
