[Verse] Bases loaded Two outs Tension's rising fast I grip the bat tight Gotta make this moment last With a swing so sweet I thought it'd be a blast But the pitcher's curveball It sailed right past [Verse 2] The ball hit the dirt I heard the pitcher shout Strike three You're out There's no doubt The disappointment stings It's hard to digest But I'll rise from the ashes I won't be depressed [Chorus] I Struck out But I won't back down I'll keep swinging Won't let failure wear a crown Through the pain and the doubt I'll stay strong Won't let this strikeout define where I belong [Verse 3] Full count now The pressure's on me tight I watch the pitch come But it doesn’t feel right I’m sure it's too low It’s outside the zone But the pitcher's call Cuts straight to the bone [Verse 4] The crowd’s in shock I hear the pitcher shout Strike three You’re out I’m full of doubt The disbelief stings But I’ll face the test I’ll rise once again I’ll still give my best [Chorus] I struck out But I won’t back down I’ll keep swinging Won’t let failure wear a crown Through the pain and the doubt I’ll stay strong Won’t let this strikeout define where I belong [Bridge] Striking out’s just part of the game It hits hard, but it’s never the same Each miss is a lesson, a step to grow Through the highs and the lows, that’s how you know It takes heart to rise, it takes strength to stand It’s not just the wins that make you a man I’ll pick up the bat, and face the next round No matter how many times I’ve hit the ground [Final Chorus] I struck out But I won’t back down I’ll keep swinging Won’t let failure wear a crown Through the pain and the doubt I’ll stay strong Won’t let this strikeout define where I belong
