Verse
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.
Pre-chorus
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.
Chorus
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.
Verse
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.
Pre-chorus
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.
Chorus
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.
Bridge
I know I'm gonna fight it.
I'm tired of being blinded.
So....
Chorus
Won't hold me down. Oh, I wanna go 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.
