Don’t Hold Me Down

[Intro]
Down, down

[Verse 1]
Understanding is the hardest part
I know you're waiting for a different life to start
But I would rather take my chances and lose
And not expect any forgiveness from you

[Chorus]
Stop clouding my vision
Stop changing my direction
Stop trying to choose my passion for me
I won’t let it happen
'Cause it's a wave that’ll push you, make you drown
A wildfire that'll burn you to the ground
One day I know that you'll come around
But I won't let you hold me

[Verse 2]
Letting go of you may be hard but I-
Would do it over again a thousand times
'Cause you see my decisions as flawed and stained
And I don't have a reason to feel ashamed of them

[Chorus]
Stop clouding my vision
Stop changing my direction
Stop trying to choose my passion for me
I won't let it happen
'Cause it’s a wave that’ll push you, make you drown
A wildfire that'll burn you to the ground
One day I know that you’ll come around
But I won't let you hold me down
Don't hold me down

[Bridge]
'Cause under all these lights
Somehow I’m in my comfort place
I'll take my dark times, bring them to life
'Cause I've made up my mind to stay too late
And give my all in all it takes
Down, down

[Chorus]
Stop clouding my vision
Stop changing my direction
Stop trying to choose my passion for me
I won't let it happen
'Cause it's a wave that'll push you, make you drown
A wildfire that'll burn you to the ground
One day I know that you'll come around
But I won't let you hold me-
Don't hold me down
Don't hold me down
Down, down
