[Verse 1]
I don't make everyone happy
Well it's ok (it's ok)
And it's ok (it's ok)
I've been through this before
It's nothin' new (it's nothin' new)
It's nothin' new (it's nothin' new)
[Chorus]
I don't know why
Every time I wanna fly
Somebody always tries
To hold me down
Hold me down, yeah
I'm losing my faith
Every single time I try
The waters on my side
Don't let me drown
Let me drown
[Verse 2]
And don't worry about what you've done now
'Cause it's ok (it's ok)
It's ok (it's ok) yeah, yeah
It's a test to see how much you can take
It's nothin' new (it's nothin' new)
It's nothin' new (it's nothin' new)
It's nothin' new
[Chorus]
I don't know why
Every time I wanna fly
Somebody always tries
To hold me down
Hold me down, yeah
I'm losing my faith
Every single time I try
The waters on my side
Don't let me drown
Let me drown, yeah
[Verse 3]
I am drownin'
I am sinkin', yeah
I am drownin'
I am sinkin'
Why won't someone help me?
Why won't someone help me?
[Chorus]
I don't know why
Every time I wanna fly
Somebody always tries
To hold me down
Hold me down, yeah
I'm losing my faith
Every single time I try
The waters on my side
Don't let me drown
Let me drown
