I'm so tired of these
Troubles that I try to hide
Makes me wanna wash away my whole world inside
I think its time that I make changes in the things I do
This weight on my chest
I am ready to lose

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 I'm wakin up I feel it now
I'm breakin out
And nothins gonna stop me now
No, no...

I've been rockin back and forth
Leanin across the line
Hangin over for a moment
On the wrong side
Now I'm standin up
I think I'll be here for a while
Hope l remember how to keep on
This steady smile

And all that time
I was gelling 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 wakin up I feel it now
I'm breakin out
And nolhins gonna stop me now

I 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 wakin up I feel it now
I'm breakin out
And nothins gonna stop me now
No, no
Nothins gonna stop me now
No no no, no no no
No no...
