  • They like to kick you when you're down
    They like it better when you're there on the ground
    And up 'til now I've never made a sound
    Hey, hey
    I bet they've never had a broken heart
    But they sure know how to beat the hell out of one
    Sometimes I think they do it just for the fun
    Hey, hey

    But no, I'm not leaving, even though I'm bleeding
    Even though this nightmare makes me wish I was dreaming
    Even though I hate it, I'm gonna take it
    Until I win

    'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid
    Don't know why bad things happened, but they did
    I don't think I deserve the hurt I get, but I'm made for it
    It's not the end, no, it's not the end
    I'm a comeback kid
    Down for a minute, I'll get up again
    Looks like I'm breaking, but it's just a bend; it's not over yet
    'Cause in the end
    I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid

    I'm gonna finish what I started now
    You interrupted me with all your doubts
    How dare you forget where I started out

    Oh oh, oh oh

    But no, I'm not leaving, even though I'm bleeding
    Even though this nightmare makes me wish I was dreaming
    Even though I hate it, I'm gonna take it
    Until I win

    'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid
    Don't know why bad things happened, but they did
    I don't think I deserve the hurt I get, but I'm made for it
    It's not the end, no, it's not the end
    I'm a comeback kid
    Down for a minute, I'll get up again
    Looks like I'm breaking, but it's just a bend; it's not over yet
    'Cause in the end
    I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid, uh-huh

    I believe in what I am, I believe in what I was
    I believe in losing you, I've never been given so much
    I believe it's been a year, the worst one I've ever lived
    I believe I'm better now than I have ever been
    I believe that ever since everything went south
    I believed in every word that ever came out of my mouth
    I believe you missed me, but you don't have to miss me, 'cause
    I'm not leaving again

    'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid
    Down for a minute, I'll get up again
    Looks like I'm breaking, but it's just a bend; it's not over yet
    'Cause in the end
    Yeah, I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid
    I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
    Not leaving again, I'm not leaving
    Not leaving again, I'm not leaving

    I'll save you a spot at my big parade
    You're all invited on my comeback day
    I'll serve you ice cream and lemonade
    Hey, hey Writer/s: KIMBERLY PERRY, NEIL PERRY, REID PERRY
