[Intro]
It just doesn't go away you know
(just doesn't go away you know)
I try, and try but it's so fucking hard
But just you say we don't care as much
As we want tho we don't do
At first it was just timing but I feel like
Its pride too, It's like, it's like a game to see
Who’s doing better without the other

[Verse 1]
I'm so exposed and I feel him watching me
Each breath I'm taking
Lost in the music
Can you find me babe?
He's tryna prove it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When he moves and I back away
If you want me come and get me
And he follows

[Chorus 1]
He's not backing down (oh whoa)
He's not backing down (oh whoa)
He's not backing down (oh whoa)
He's not backing down (oh whoa)
He's not, he's not, he's not backing down
[Verse 2]
He's so exposed and he knows I'm watching him
Each move he's making (he's making)
You're lost in the music
I'm tryna find you babe
So scared to lose him

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I move and you back away
Are we done yet playing these games?
Only we know (oh oh)

[Chorus 2]
I'm not backing down (oh whoa)
I'm not backing down (oh whoa)
I'm not backing down (oh whoa)
(I ain't backing down, backing down baby)
I'm not backing down (oh whoa)
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not backing down (oh whoa)

[Bridge]
Yeah, I guess we're learning the hard way
Love isn't what the cards say
It's only for people dreaming
And movies we see
And God is believing it's you and me but it's not
And it's hard, and it's good, and it's magic
But we can't be together and that is tragic
And I hate it more than I hate traffic
And thinking about you is such a habit
But I can't change the rhythm of my heart
And even if I could, wouldn't know where to start
So I just keep letting you know I'm still around
Making music and hoping that you could feel the sound
Making earthquakes hoping you could feel the ground shake
When the sound fades, we just let it downplay
So this is my confession
If there's something you know
Then I hope you don't keep me guessing
Yeah, 'cause you worth walking the whole earth
[Chorus 3]
We're not backing down (I'm not backing down oh whoa)
We're not backing down (oh whoa)
(I ain't backing down, backing down baby)
We're not backing down (oh whoa)
(I ain't backing down, backing down baby)
We're not backing down (oh whoa)
(I ain't backing down, backing down baby)
We're not backing down (oh whoa)
We're not, we're not, we're not backing down (oh whoa)

[Post-Chorus]
I ain't backing down, backing down baby
I ain't backing down, backing down baby
Please come to the door, Please open the door
