Down

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 cant 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 cant hold me down

Because I finally understand

That what you did is

Not so bad in fact it's better for me
