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 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
