Intro

x2

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.
