[Verse 1]
Kick me when I'm down, keep me on the ground
From the ones who I thought they would never leave
Who gave you so much faith?
Who gave you so much power?
You turned it all against me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
But you're going, and you're going and you're gone tonight
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
Never gonna be a part of me this time
[Chorus]
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait
[Post-Chorus]
Just wait
Just wait
[Verse 2]
Kick me when I'm down, keep me on the ground
There's no black and white when it comes to pain
All I gave up, it's still not enough
You're twisting my demons like there is no love
When push comes to shove that fine line gives up
I'm left with the feeling of chasing a rush
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
But you're going, and you're going and you're gone tonight
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
Never gonna be a part of me this time
[Chorus]
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait
[Bridge]
Gonna show what I've got left
You haven't even seen my best
Just wait
All I gave up, still not enough
Kick me when I'm down
[Chorus]
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait
[Outro]
Don't count me out, won't let you down
I'm never gonna let you down
(Don't count me out, don't count me out)
(Don't write, I won't let you down)

Jonny Craig has said the following about the video that appears to be autobiographical:
The basis of it is I’m getting wheeled in, I’m unconscious, I wake up and come to, the next thing you know, I’m being interrogated. It goes back and forth between this girl and a guy, and the girl’s really not e...
