Song Lyrics

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 your's 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
