[Verse 1]
I'll tell you now you can't win this
‘Cause you're way too slow
I'll tell you now I'm gonna take this

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?

[Chorus]
I'll let it show that I'm not always hiding
Come all the way down and watch me burn
I won't let it show that I'm not always flying
So on the way down, I'll watch you burn

[Verse 2]
So let me know just how to take this
‘Cause you're way too cold
Now show me how before it breaks me

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?

[Chorus]
I'll let it show that I'm not always hiding
Come all the way down and watch me burn
I won't let it show that I'm not always flying
So on the way down, I'll watch you burn

[Bridge]
No, oh

[Chorus]
Let it show that I'm not always hiding
Come all the way down and watch me burn
I won't let it show that I'm not always flying
So on the way down, I'll watch you burn

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
