I'll sing what I always wanted to But never thought I could Never thought I could say Like a high school party that I cowered in On edge until I made it home To weekends I spent with coworkers Who weren't quite friends but were the closest I had Coping with the week that came before Too old to drop everything and tour Too old to be proud of the words that I say I'm finally old enough to hold everything back Too proud to lose any more hope I don't think it's admitting defeat To keep a few things precious to me Not letting anyone take what I have done It's not defeat, it's not defeat It's not defeat It's not defeat, it's not defeat It's not defeat It's not defeat even if I've been beat down so many times before
