[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
