[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Is there something inside me that I don't see? Is there something wrong here with the way I love? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Pre-Chorus] Is there something inside me that I don't see? Is there something wrong here with the way I love? [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Down Down You can't hold me down again You can't hold me down Down You can't hold me down again
