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)d

Is there a reason why you’re gone?
I didn’t mean to be so wrong
And 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
Waiting for you to come back home to me

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
