"Don't Hold Me Down" lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

I know I'm gonna fight it
I'm tired of being blinded
So

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

No, no
Nothing's gonna stop me now
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no
