Cover the bruises on your back
Erase the blisters from your feet
I was the petri dish for you
You'll be a better man than me

I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat

The faintest trace of a heartbeat
And suddenly I check my seat
I'll be a test pilot for you
You'll be a better man than me

I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat
I won't let
You be defined by defeat
