Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was ten with band-aids on the knees,

Trying hard to climb that tree.

Told her Mom, I can’t do this,

Felt the tears start creeping in.

She sighed like she’d seen it all before,

Leaned on the railing by the kitchen door,

And said the line that tattooed my spine

For the rest of my life.

[Pre-Chorus]

You’re louder than the fear you feel,

Stronger than the way you heel.

Don’t you dare give up tonight

Fight the thing you’re trying to fight.

[Chorus]

Can’t means you won’t,

And you’re not a quitter.

Her voice in my head

Gets louder, gets bigger.

Every time the world says

You’ll never get there,

Her words cut through

The doubt in the air.

Can’t means you won’t

And you’re not a quitter.

[Verse 2]

High school hallways, overstressed,

Failed a test I thought I’d ace.

Told her, Mom, I blew it hard,

She said, One loss won’t steal your heart.

And even now when the nights get rough,

And I’m someplace thinking I’m not enough,

Her echo kicks the fear aside

Like a match to a dynamite mind.

[Pre-Chorus]

You’re louder than the fear you feel,

Stronger than the way you heel.

Stand up even when it hurts

You’re made of fire beneath the dirt.

[Chorus]

Can’t means you won’t,

And you’re not a quitter.

Her voice in my head

Gets louder, gets bigger.

Every time the world says

You’ll never get there,

Her words cut through

The doubt in the air.

Can’t means you won’t

And you’re not a quitter.

[Bridge]

I still hear her on the broken days,

When life hits hard in those stupid ways.

And I swear I feel her standing near

Every time I choke on fear.

Trust your hands, trust your fire,

You were built to climb higher.

[Final Chorus]

Can’t means you won’t,

And you’re not a quitter.

Her voice in my chest

Keeps cutting in clearer.

Even when I fall

And I can’t see the end,

Her words pull me upright again.

Can’t means you won’t

And you’re not a quitter.

[Outro]

Can’t means you won’t…

And I’m not a quitter.
