CAN'T BACK DOWN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
when you walked on in to my life
I was caught in your web
and then when you took the knife
I was brought head to head
and I didn't know just what you would do
I just did not have a clue
and then when you bit you bit my ear
it couldn't have been more clear
I guess I should go but it's too late now
I'm a prisoner
I could have been free but it's too late
I can't back down
I got to see this through no matter what I can take it
I can't back down
I got to go on I got to try to make it
I put my hand in the fire
to take out what you burned
you done me like this before
I guess I'll never learn
but you got this thing that I gotta have
it makes me cry it makes you laugh
I gotta grab hold of it
though my heart is torn in half
I guess I should go but it's too late now
I'm a prisoner
I could have been free but now it's too late
I can't let go I can't go on
whatever I hoped for is gone
I can't get out I can't get in
you done it to me again, but
I can't back down
I got to see this through no matter what I can take it
I can't back down
I got to go on I got to try to make it
