Lyrics
Can?t hold me down
Jim Frederick-3-31-03---120bpm
V1: All the lies and deceit
Rumors and pressures have distracted me
From, becoming something more
The days of listening to you
Down playing my life (12 Bars)
Have cause so much strife
My mind is filling up with hate
But today is a brand new day
Chorus: (4) You can?t hold me down
(2) Your hate won?t make me drown
Cause I?m stronger now
(3) Pain will only strengthen me (16 Bars)
(1) Love can always harbor me
(5) The will to survive is stronger
Than the ways to die
V2: I?ve always known
That a life worth living
Is only great if I take a chance
Don?t stand in my way
Tell me I?m nothing (11 Bars)
Cause you?ll be the one that?ll
Be dismayed
Bridge: there was a time
That I hated myself
I wasn?t looking far enough
Within my soul (2 bar intro + 17 bars)
All that I possessed
Was more than your assets
