"Defiant" lyrics

Everything I need is out of reach these days
As life gets down to the wire
Not a single thing that I love ever stays
And don't get burned in the fire

One door opens and another one shuts
And slams in my face and it drives me nuts
I can't make right for the things I've done
Looking down the barrel of a gun

Cause I'm on fire
I'm on fire
All the time
I don't get tired
I just get higher

I stand defiant
Defiant
You can't deny it
Of me
I stand defiant
Defiant
No I ain't lying
You'll see
I'll defy you

The next big thing has been and gone
I'm here, I'm ready, no waiting
Got a foot in the door gonna sing my song
While the music is playing

Remember you thought I wouldn't last six months
But fifty years on I haven't had enough
Been to hell and back yeah I called your bluff
Here I am still going strong

Cause I'm on fire
I'm on fire
All the time
I don't tired
I just get higher

I stand defiant
Defiant
You can't deny it
Of me
I stand defiant
Defiant
No I ain't lying
You'll see
I'll defy you

Keep on swimming if you don't look back
Everything it stays the same
I won't step into that river once again

I stand defiant
Defiant
You can't deny it
Of me
I stand defiant
Defiant
No I ain't lying
You'll see

I stand defiant
Defiant
You can't deny it
Of me
I stand defiant
Defiant
No I ain't lying
You'll see
I'll defy you
