[Verse] They're pointing their fingers so loud We'll erase their belief and it's sooner than you know They put my name through the dirt Push my back to the wall Now their words will make them crawl [Pre-Chorus] Was it my mistake to try And hide it all and take it lying down? What are they clinging on to? They never thought I'd come To break their silence and free their spirits What are they busy saying now? [Chorus] It's never gonna wear me down Yeah I know you thought it might but it won't It's never gonna wear me down No I won't take the blame for tongue-in-cheek remarks that cut me down to size Ooh Wear me down Yeah I know you thought it might but it won't It's never gonna wear me down No I won't take the blame for tongue-in-cheek remarks that cut me down to size [Verse] You draw targets over your face Now the marks they've left are your kindest features Tell me what you fear Salva Nos e Rina died with you Aillowfere Hope it freed your soul Now it's her time to use [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've found the world The past laid over and now it's on its head The rain fell backwards The start was at the end The war has just begun They never saw me grow I rose in spirit Seems like the louder they shout [Chorus] It's never gonna wear me down Yeah I know you thought it might But it won't It's never gonna wear me down No I won't take the blame for tongue-in-cheek remarks that cut me down to size Ooh Wear me down Yeah I know you thought it might but it won't It's never gonna wear me down No I won't take the blame for tongue-in-cheek remarks that cut me down to size (Again) [Bridge 1] They never thought I'd see the day where we'd take back control And I know you You all know I know you indulge (Ooh) All the things that they say Every morning when they wake It gets harder to fake A reason it should carry on
