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
