I'm no house of cards, house of cards Just to fall I act so bulletproof But you take me down You take me down Gave all I got to you Now I'm standing my ground Standing my ground Not caving into you, not caving into you

But I'm finally standing upright on the ground To find my mind's still fairly sound But I know I've said the same about them all We've received our education In the cities of the nation, me and Paul After takin' several readings I'm surprised I guess

We don't run I'm standing my ground And we don't back down Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run) We don't run, we don't run I'm not afraid of burning bridges 'Cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a Phoenix, from the ashes Welcome to
