Not Going Down

<!-- start of lyrics -->

I woke up today with a headache

More bills to pay than a corporation

Hey, when will it end

My mirror says

I could use a break

An easy day, some appreciation

Hey how 'bout a friend

When days like these start to fall in on me

I gotta face my reflection and say...hey [Chorus:]

Been burned by the fire

Been stuck under water

Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around

Been tossed like a free throw

Knocked out when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' '

Cause I'm not going down (I'm not going down no no)

Inside of me is the only

Highway that leads to a true freedom

Holding out it's hand

I close my eyes and it's all right

The sun will shine on a new horizon

Just around the bend

Days like these bring out the strength in me

So I can face my reflection and say... [Repeat chorus]

I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced

But next time

I won't let it beat me, no

I can see clearly,

I know who

I am And that's how

I know I've begun living [Repeat chorus (out)] <!-- end of lyrics -->
