Selling stories that were overrated in this world so complicated Felt so right, you tried to make it wrong Why can't we all just get along From the start something wasn't right I used to cry myself to sleep at night Told myself stand up be strong This kind of phase doesn't last for long Every time you try to knock me down, Gonna pick my back up off the ground The battle never ends You can tear me apart You can rip me to pieces Try breaking me down But I'll never be beated You can say that you won but I'll never believe it 'Cause I can't be defeated Made a mistake swore Ill never repeat it Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating I smile through the tears so the way that I see it I can't be defeated There are times that I couldn't take it Never felt so violated At the risk of sounding so cliche I just gotta call a spade a spade Hurts me right to the core I can't take this anymore Getting tired of the same old song Final chorus, now I'm moving on Things ain't fair in love in war Never been the kind to be ignored Tried to push me to the edge You can tear me apart You can rip me to pieces Try breaking me down But I'll never be beated You can say that you won but I'll never believe it 'Cause I can't be defeated Made a mistake swore Ill never repeat it Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating I smile through the tears so the way that I see it I can't be defeated Yeah Nothing is impossible Nothing is unreachable If you only believe then you get what you need So keep on holdin' on You can tear me apart You can rip me to pieces Try breaking me down But I'll never be beated You can say that you won but I'll never believe it 'Cause I can't be defeated Made a mistake swore Ill never repeat it Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating I smile through the tears so the way that I see it I can't be defeated
