Can't Back Down

Demi Lovato · Other Songs - Demi Lovato

We can't

We can't back down (x4)



Not right now

We can't back down

Not right now

We can't back down

We can't back down



Don't close your eyes

We're all in this together

Wherever we draw the line

We're not gonna straddle across it

Or lose it



We can't back down

There's too much at stake

This is serious

Don't walk away

We can't pretend it's not happening

In our backyard

Our own home plate

(No way)

We've been called out

(We've been called out)

Do you hear your name?

(Yeah)

I'm not confused

Let's win this thing

(Let's do it)

We can't back down

There's too much at stake

Don't walk away

Don't walk away, yeah



Don't get me wrong

I don't like confrontation

I'd rather we all just get along

Music should be undivided, united



We can't back down

There's too much at stake

This is serious

Don't walk away

We can't pretend it's not happening

In our backyard

Our own home plate

(No way)

We've been called out

(We've been called out)

Do you hear your name?

(Yeah)

I'm not confused

Let's win this thing

(Let's do it)

We can't back down

There's too much at stake

Don't walk away

Don't walk away, yeah



We got a situation that we can't ignore

'Cause ignorance is not bliss

We don't have to take this, no

With every big decision

Comes an equally important share of the risk

We gotta take this



We can't back down

There's too much at stake

This is serious

Don't walk away

We can't pretend it's not happening

In our backyard

Our own home plate

We've been called out

Do you hear your name?

I'm not confused

Let's win this thing

We can't back down

There's too much at stake

Don't walk away

Don't walk away, yeah

We can't back down



We can't back down

Not right now

We can't back down
