[Verse 1] everyday there's another struggle it's either you do or stumble I keep my head up in the rumble but the floor keeps changing under me as much as I create there's something in the gate something pulling at my sleeve like it knows just where to lean [Pre-Chorus] I push, I push it pulls me back I run too fast still feel that snap I reach, I reach for what won't leave one hand on my heart one hand on me [Chorus] Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I need a way out now (I need a way out now) Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I keep coming back somehow (coming back somehow) [Verse 2] I built my nights with patience stacked my days like stones still the same old weight follows me home I paint a new direction it paints me over first every bright idea hits the same old hurt [Pre-Chorus] I push, I push it pulls me back I run too fast still feel that snap I reach, I reach for what won't leave one hand on my heart one hand on me [Chorus] Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I need a way out now (I need a way out now) Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I keep coming back somehow (coming back somehow) [Bridge] If I break, I break it open If I fall, I fall forward I won't call this my ending I won't call this a border [Final Chorus] Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I need a way out now (I need a way out now) Don't let it hold me down don't let it hold me down I keep coming back somehow (coming back somehow)
