About Down

"Won't Back Down" is a song performed by American rock band Fuel. Written by guitarist Carl Bell, the song was originally released as the lead single for the 2003 film soundtrack Daredevil: The Album. Eventually, another version of the song would be included on Fuel's third album later that year, Natural Selection. It was titled, "Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell remix)." "Won't Back Down" is more industrial sounding than the rest of the band's catalog, which is partially due to the nature of the film, and also due to Bell having less than a week to write the song to meet Fox studios' deadline in order make the film and soundtrack. It is the first song played in the credits of the movie.

I give you everything
(you let me down, down, down)
I gave you trust and salvation
(you let me down, down, down)
I gave you everything that I could provide                                  
(yeah)
I gave you strength to stand and you shoved me
Down

I know you want me to love you
But all you ever do is bring me down
Won't you go away forever?

I felt the world of pain
(it's coming down, down, down)
Brought to the water, then left me dry
(down, down, down) 
Took the drug from the user
(yeah)
Took all my strength to run then shove me
Down

I know you want me to love you
But all you ever do is bring me down
Won't you go away forever?

It's kinda freaky just to see you crawl
And all you can do is stare
I know you're tripping
While I kick you to the curb
Like you kicked me
Me
Me
Oh you shove me

I know you want me to love you
But all you ever do is bring me down
Won't you go away forever?

I know you want me to love you!
All you ever do is bring me down
Won't you go away forever?

Ever?
Ever?
Now
Now
Now
You shove me
You shove me
You shove me down
Shove me down
