[Verse 1]

I'm just so tired of these troubles that I try to hide

Makes me wanna wash away my whole world inside

I think it's time that I make changes in the things I do

This weight on my chest, I am ready to lose

[Pre-Chorus]

And all this time

I've been getting in my own way

I have to tell myself

Only I can be the one to make a change

[Chorus]

Don't hold me down

Oh, I was getting so far

Don't hold me down

'Cause I don't wanna fall apart

Don't hold me down

You see, I'm waking up and feel it now

I'm breaking down, and nothing's gonna stop me now

No, no

[Verse 2]

I have been rocking back and forth leading across the line

Hanging over for a moment on the wrong side

Now I'm standing up, I think I'll be here for a while

Hope I remember how to keep on this steady smile

[Pre-Chorus]

And all that time

I was getting in my own way

I had to tell myself

Only I can be the one to make a change

[Chorus]

Don't hold me down

Oh, I was getting so far

Don't hold me down

'Cause I don't wanna fall apart

Don't hold me down

You see, I'm waking up and feel it now

I'm breaking down, and nothing's gonna stop me now

[Bridge]

I know I'm gonna fight it

I'm tired of being blinded

So

[Chorus]

I won't hold me down

I wanna go so far

I won't hold me down

No, I don't wanna fall apart

Don't hold me down

You see, I'm waking up and feel it now

I'm breaking down, and nothing's gonna stop me now

[Outro]

No, no

Nothing's gonna stop me now

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no
