It’s hard to live
Hard to live when you’re dead inside
It’s hard to see

I can’t see you I can’t see and you’re all around
[Chorus]

I can’t see you
I can’t see you and you’re all around
[Chorus]
You can’t bring me down
I won’t surrender
You can’t break me now (You can't break me now)
There’s nothing here
Nothing left
You still try to take it away!
[Bridge]

Cannot, will not, cannot, break me now
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You can’t bring me down (You can't bring me down)
I won’t surrender
You can’t break me now (You can't break me now)
There’s nothing here
Nothing left
You still try to take it away!
