Maddison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you're the devil come to visit, my old friend
That's right I can take it, I can take it, was born in hell
I've been the broken, the broken, the broken
But now, I'm stronger, stronger than what they tell
I've fought and lost, I've made my choice
Won't quit, won't quit, I won't quit, not this time
That's right, I'll fight, that's right I'll be ready
Cause this time, this time, I ain't running
Stand me up, I'm ready
Push me back, I'm steady to fight
Start me up, I'm ready
Set me loose, cause this time I just
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Don't bet against me
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
This time I'm ready
I'm a saint, you're the sinner, when you lose, I'm the winner
That's right can you take it, can you take it like you took from me?
How's it feel to be the broken, the broken, the broken?
And now, you're the fallen, fallen, no lies to tell
I've fought the loss, I've found my voice
I won't quit, won't quit, I won't quit, not this time
That's right, I'll fight, that's right I'll be ready
This time, this time, I ain't running
Stand me up, I'm ready
Push me back, I'm steady to fight
Start me up, I'm ready
Set me loose, cause this time I just
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Don't bet against me
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
This time I'm ready
Stand me up, I'm ready
Push me back, I'm steady to fight
Start me up, I'm ready
Set me loose, cause this time I just
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Don't bet against me
Woah woah
Woah woah




Woah woah
This time I'm ready
