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
