Lyrics
I surrender
This isn't love it's torture
Done being champion
Done being warrior
Angry winds have blown through my banner
Bloodstained, battle weary
There's holes in my armour
So you'd better hold me down
All the way down
You're going to lose me
Hold me down
It's in your hands
Take a stand
I'm all used
So hold me down
You lie so easy
While you look in my eyes
I wanna believe you
But it doesn't feel right
And you destroy me
Over and over
And time and time again
When once would be fine
So you'd better hold me down
All the way down
You're going to lose me
Hold me down
It's in your hands
Take a stand
I'm all used
So hold me down
I need more
Than the absence of war
Don't question my questions
Hold down the fort
Don't drive this dagger deeper
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Throw me a line
Hold me down
All the way down
You're going to lose me
Hold me
So you'd better hold me down
All the way down
You're going to lose me
Hold me down
It's in your hands
Baby, take a stand
I'm all used
So hold me down
I'm all used
So hold me down
I'm all used
So hold me down
