Lyrics:

It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
I didn't know her, but I know why she lied
I didn't know her, but I know why she died
Yeah

(chorus)
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
And we won't go down

I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head.
Well I feel ashamed of the things that I said
Put on these chains and you can live a free life
Well I'd rather bleed just to know why I died

(chorus)

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
All I know is that fear has to go
This time around
This time around

I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons a blazing shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I'd die

( x3)
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
