[Chorus]
Down
You've been down to the river and back
Feeling like you're drowning again
It's as real as a heart attack

[Verse 1]
Up
There like a mountain you stand
Your body keeps remembering when
But your soul keeps fading to black
And I know that you're hurt, you're betrayed inside
I wanna be there when our worlds collide

[Chorus]
Down
I'm never gonna let you down
I wanna be the one who stands his ground
I wanna be that man

[Verse 2]
So low, you never felt so broken
You're dreaming when you try to pretend
But you'll run and you'll never look back
Baby, life is hope, it's a beautiful thing
Give me some rope and I'll make you a swing
For the little girl in you

[Chorus]
Down
I'm never gonna let you down
I wanna be the one who stands his ground
I wanna be that man

[Chorus]
Down
Yeah, hell-bent or heaven-bound
I'm walking on holy ground
I'm never gonna let you down

[Verse 3]
Here nobody leaves without a scar
The deepest cuts will make you who you are

[Chorus]
Down
I'm never gonna let you down
I wanna be the one who stands his ground
I wanna be that man

[Outro]
Down
Either hell-bent or heaven-bound
I'm walking on holy ground
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm never gonna let...
I'm never gonna let you...
No, I'm never gonna let you down
