I Refuse Lyrics by Simple Plan

Taking One for the Team

2016

[Intro]
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

[Verse 1]
Stop being such a freak
Nobody wants you here
That's what they said to me
There's something wrong with you
Why don't you disappear?
That's what they said to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Why should we all be stereotypes?
Why don't we all just stand up and fight?
In my blood
In my veins
In my heart
I know what’s right for me

[Chorus]
So I refuse
To apologize for who I am
And I refuse
To ever let somebody say I can't
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

So I refuse
To let the words you say get to me
And I refuse
To keep on suffering quietly
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So I refuse
So I refuse

[Verse 2]
You'll never make it far
You're just a hopeless case
(That's what they said to me)
How can I make it clear?
You're just a big mistake
(That's what they said to me)

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't control me, this is my life
When will you wake up and open your eyes?
In my blood
In my veins
In my heart
I know what’s right for me

[Chorus]
So I refuse
To apologize for who I am
And I refuse
To ever let somebody say I can't
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

So I refuse
To let the words you say get to me
And I refuse
To keep on suffering quietly
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

[Bridge]
No matter what you think
You won’t decide my fate
I can do anything
No matter what you say
'Cause in my blood
In my veins
In my heart
I know what’s right for me

[Chorus]
So I refuse
To apologize for who I am
And I refuse
To ever let somebody say I can't
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

So I refuse
To let the words you say get to me
And I refuse
To keep on suffering quietly
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So I refuse
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
So I refuse
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
