Don't Hold Me Down

I'm just so tired of these troubles that I try to hide

Makes me wanna wash away my whole world inside

Think it's time that I make changes in the things I do

This weight on my chest, I am ready to lose

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 I'm waking up, I feel it now

I'm breaking out

And nothing's gonna stop me now

No, no

I've been rocking back and forth, leaning across the line

Hanging over for a moment on the wrong side

Now I'm standing up, I think I'll be here for a while

Hope I remember how to keep on this steady smile

All that time I was getting in my own way

I had 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 I'm waking up, I feel it now

I'm breaking out

And nothing's gonna stop me now

You know I'm gonna fight it

I'm tired of being blinded

So...

I won't hold me down

I wanna go so far

I won't hold me down

No, I don't wanna fall apart

Don't hold me down

You see I'm waking up, I feel it now

I'm breaking out

And nothing's gonna stop me now

No, no

Nothing's gonna stop me now

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
