And it leaves me stronger than I've ever felt before
I can't explain this state I'm in,
The strength I feel is never gonna end
So wait, you think that you can stop me
Well then, come on right in and bring me what ya got
With Your Best Shot
Give me everything
You've got its not enough
Come on, come on
Give it a try,

You think you know me
That you'll win me over
And lure me into your darkness
Well I'm heading into a new direction
One that will settle with less than perfection
