[Verse 1]

I rode the bus to work today

My baby gave my car away

And I got piles of bills to pay

I just can't take another day

I got no help around a home

So now I'm living off of loans

Sometimes, I don't know what to do

The only thing I know that's true

[Chorus]

I'm broke down, I'm held down

No help now, I'm broke down

[Verse 2]

I'm falling deeper in the drink

I think it helps me not to think

'Bout everything that's going on

It makes me numb when things go wrong

Another swig of alcohol

Until I'm reaching for the walls

If I can make it to my bed

I pray to God I wake up dead

[Chorus]

I'm broke down, I'm held down

No help now, I'm broke down

[Bridge]

Now I feel like I'm gon' fall

I can't help it anymore

All that I can do is hold

I'll feel better

Now I feel like I'm gon' fall

I can't help it anymore

All that I can do is hold

I'll feel better

[Chorus]

I'm broke down, I'm held down

No help now, I'm broke down

I'm broke down, I'm held down

No help now, I'm broke down
