lyrics

I’ll do whatever it takes to prove them wrong
For better or worse this is my song
It doesn’t matter what the odds may be
Fight tooth and nail to get ahead
Don’t plan on sleeping ‘til I’m dead
Come at me with all you’ve got
You don’t scare me

Just give me a shot and I’ll take it
I’m a pro at faking it ‘til you make it
You may think I’m weak
I think I disagree

I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down

Move out of the way, I’ve got ambition to feed
And if you can’t give me what I need
Leave me alone and let me live my truth
The history books won’t write this down
No written record will be found
I’m just here to do what I set out to do

So don’t blame me if you’re intimidated
It’s not my fault you feel emasculated
Just let me do me and I’ll let you do you

I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down
They put these shackles on me
And I’m gonna fight ‘til I’m free
They won’t hold me long
‘Cause I will not back down

I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down
They put these shackles on me
And I’m gonna fight ‘til I’m free
They won’t hold me long
‘Cause I will not back down

Dear Daria Washington, D.C.

Washington, DC-based four-piece Dear Daria writes storyteller songs about angst, love, social commentary, mental health, and a longing for the world to be the kind of safe and accepting place we all wished we lived in. Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”. ... more
