i'm just so tired of these troubles that i try to hide. makes me wanna wash away my whole world inside. i think it's time that i make changes in the things i do. this weight on my chest i am ready to loose. and all this time i've been getting in my own way. i have to tell myself only i can be the one to make a change. don't hold me down. oh
i was getting so far. don't hold me down. cause i don't wanna fall apart. don't hold me down. you see me waking up and feel it now. i'm breaking down and nothing's gonna stop me now. no
no. i have been rocking back and forth across the line. hanging for a moment on the wrong side. now i'm standing up
i think i'll be here for a while. hope i rememeber how to keep on this steady smile. all that time i was getting in my own way. i had to tell myself only i could be the one to make a change. don't hold me down. oh
i was getting so far. don't hold me down. cause i don't wanna fall apart. don't hold me down. you see me waking up and feel it now. i'm breaking down and nothing's gonna stop me now. i know i'm gonna fight it. i'm tired of being blinded. so. i won't hold me down. oh
