[Verse 1: John Cooper]
Lies, all your so-called friends that left you behind
And your insecurities are the only thing that you believe
Everyone feels like they’re faking
You disappear into the crowd
Right behind your smiling face
Inside, you’re bleeding out

[Chorus: John Cooper]
I will be your light when you can’t see
I will be your breath when you can’t breathe
I know the battle you’ve been through

I’m never backing out on you
Even when nobody else believes
I will be the one who never leaves
I’ll be at your side forever
I will never be a defector
(I will never be a defector)

[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Gone
All your never-answered prayers left you numb
And your insecurities are the only thing you ever see
Maybe love’s a chance worth taking
If you let me show you how
Start again, reverse the breaking
Stop the bleeding out

[Chorus: John Cooper]
I will be your light when you can’t see
I will be your breath when you can’t breathe
I know the battle you’ve been through
I’m never backing out on you
Even when nobody else believes
I will be the one who never leaves
I’ll be at your side forever
I will never be a defector

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
I will never be a defector
No

[Chorus: John Cooper]
I will be your light when you can’t see
I will be your breath when you can’t breathe
I know the battle you’ve been through
I’m never backing out on you
Even when nobody else believes
I will be the one who never leaves
I’ll be at your side forever
I will never be a defector
When you can’t see
When you can’t breathe
I’m never backing out on you
Even when nobody else believes
I will be the one who never leaves
I’ll be at your side forever
I will never be a defector

[Outro: John Cooper]
I will never be a defector
