I sat by the phone today

Waiting for you to call so I

Could pick it up and say hello to you

And you would say hello to me

Just like my dreams

Is there a reason why you're gone

I didn't mean to be so wrong

I tried so hard to be the best that I could be

But still it seems

I always end up alone

Is there something inside me that I don't see

Is there something wrong here with the way I love

Down You can't hold me down

Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here

Just waiting for you to come back home again

Down You can't hold me down

Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad

In fact it's better for me

Did I not give you enough room

Was I overtaking you

And did my love for you just blind me from what I was doing wrong

I never meant you harm

Or was I not good enough for you

Is that the reason why we're through

Was I not half the man you thought that I would be but now you see

Is that why you leave me

Is that why you leave me

Is there something inside me that I don't see

Is there something wrong here with the way I love

Down You can't hold me down

Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here

Just waiting for you to come back home again

Down You can't hold me down

Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad

In fact it's better for me

And Lord knows I try to bring back my dreams

Cause I held onto yours for so long that I couldn't hold my own

Down You can't hold me down

Cause when no one is around I won't be standing here

Just waiting for you to come back home again

Down You can't hold me down

Because I finally understand that what you did is not so bad

In fact it's better for me

Down

Down

You can't hold me down again

You can't hold me down

Down

You can't hold me down again
